Lorde BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In the past few days Lorde has moved into the summer spotlight with momentum that feels unmistakable. On July 29 Parade highlighted Lorde’s personal update on social media where she posted cheerful bikini photos and reflected on “a week off” from work, reminding fans she’s focused on “trying to stay human, even when it tastes bitter.” Fans quickly responded with adoration and anticipation, especially since Lorde teased them with clues about her upcoming tour setlist, fueling speculation that she may perform “David” live for the first time. According to her own posts Lorde seems energized as she prepares for her Ultrasound Tour beginning September 17 in Austin Texas a campaign that will promote her much-discussed new album Virgin Parade, United Center and other sources confirm her U.S. tour will also include support acts The Japanese House and Chanel Beads.
Just days before that social media update Lorde dropped her first new single in four years “What Was That” produced with Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro, as detailed in AOL and Variety coverage. The song’s release was intertwined with a headline-grabbing incident in New York’s Washington Square Park, where Lorde announced a pop-up performance on social media—only for the event to be abruptly canceled due to crowd safety and police intervention when thousands showed up. Always committed to her fans, Lorde arrived two hours late and played the track in person for those still lingering, a move that only intensified social buzz and cemented the single’s rollout as an event in itself.
Simultaneously the press has been mining her new interview with Rolling Stone in which Lorde honestly discussed overcoming stage fright and an eating disorder, revealing that MDMA-assisted therapy and psilocybin sessions played pivotal roles in her healing—this continues to draw both praise and controversy, especially given ongoing FDA debates over psychedelic therapy. Her on-the-record transparency marks a new chapter, with Lorde saying she found personal transformation and creative rejuvenation as she worked on Virgin, her first album since 2021’s Solar Power.
Finally with rumors swirling and Lorde herself hinting on Instagram there is considerable speculation about a possible secret set at Glastonbury 2025, which would coincide with her continuing ascendancy this year. Media reviews like Daily Nexus are already suggesting Virgin as a major album of 2025, citing its return to synth-pop roots and Lorde’s characteristic mix of introspection and euphoria. All told, with a triumphant new album, a chart-topping single, fearless candor about her struggles, and the imminent launch of a major tour Lorde is bigger news than ever—and owning every minute of it.
