Lorde BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Lorde has been making notable headlines this week, sparking both music press and social media buzz as anticipation builds for her upcoming tour and new album. According to Parade and AOL, the New Zealand pop icon took a much-publicized "week off" from work, sharing candid snapshots on Instagram of herself in a bright red and blue bikini, surrounded by trees and sunsets. The social posts radiated a mix of playfulness and vulnerability, with Lorde telling fans, “Had a week off. I’m a living creature again,” and reflecting on the challenge and mission to remain human, even through “bitter” moments. This resonated deeply with fans, fueling discussion about her current mindset and readiness to return to live performances.
Tour excitement is reaching a fever pitch. XS Rock and Parade confirm that Lorde’s Ultrasound Tour is launching September 17 in Austin, Texas, with major arena stops across North America and Europe, including headline shows at Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena. The tour will support her fourth studio album, Virgin, which has already been called by Daily Nexus "an explosion of nostalgia, sensuality, and vulnerability," marking both a sonic return to her synth-pop roots and a turning point after the challenges of her previous Solar Power era. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Lorde shared personal struggles with her body image, heartbreak, and therapy during her last album cycle, and detailed her journey to reclaiming her creative spark and sense of self.
On the music front, Lorde has teased setlists—specifically promising the song “David” live for the first time—which triggered a flurry of fan excitement on Instagram and Twitter. She was also recently featured in Marlon Williams’ Māori language album and contributed a cover to the A24 Talking Heads tribute project, Everyone’s Getting Involved. Yesterday, Rolling Stone tagged Lorde in a new Instagram post, remobilizing buzz around her public re-emergence. Meanwhile, campaign accounts on Instagram are rallying for “Liability (Reprise)” to be performed on tour, underlining the strong grassroots fan engagement leading up to the shows.
Perhaps the most talked-about incident was her unintentional public appearance outside Brooklyn’s BAM Harvey Theater. AOL reports that Lorde was spotted by fans as she exited the stage door after visiting actor Paul Mescal during his run in A Streetcar Named Desire, briefly making her a trending topic as passing fans realized a pop legend was in their midst. Throughout all this, Lorde herself has been forthright about where she stands artistically, telling People Magazine, “I don’t think I’m supposed to vibe out. I’m meant to make these bangers that f--- us all up,” further raising expectations for a more electrifying era ahead. No significant controversies or negative headlines have surfaced—only growing anticipation, media affection, and the sense that Lorde is entering a major new chapter.
