Lorde has joined the party with New Zealand’s top music stars at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards.
Fresh from releasing a new single and music video, the singer arrived at the ceremony in a dark grey outfit with silver shoes.
Lorde told 1News it was great to be back in Auckland and had enjoyed swimming.
“I’ve been having the nicest swims, everyone’s been amazing. I’m staying with my parents, the vibes are good.”
When asked if there would be a New Zealand tour, Lorde said: “This is a good question but I would go off the fact I have never missed a New Zealand tour. You know? I think it’s going to happen.”
Lorde released Man of the Year, the second single off the new album, Virgin, and a music video to accompany it, this afternoon.
The pop star’s appearance music awards wasn’t entirely a surprise after a pop up event in Auckland’s YMCA washroom the night before.
Asked why a YMCA toilet was chosen, of all places, Lorde said: “Never ask why, you know, I can’t tell you the answer.”
