\n\tLorde<\/a> closed out the first night of Lollapalooza<\/a> with a memorable headlining set featuring surprise guest Charli xcx<\/a>, at one point needing to press pause when multiple fans collapsed in the crowd.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn video captured by Billboard at the New Zealander\u2019s mainstage-closing performance on Thursday (July 30), she and the British dance-pop star trade dueling vocals on their \u201cGirl, So Confusing\u201d duet, which Lorde has been incorporating into her festival sets<\/a> as a solo number \u2014 until now. This time, when she closed out her verse with \u201cI ride for you, Charli,\u201d the \u201cRoyals\u201d singer got to belt it directly to her collaborator next to her on stage.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cGirl, So Conusing\u201d remix featuring Lorde dropped in 2024 as part of Charli\u2019s Brat and It\u2019s Completely Different But Also Still Brat reissue, featuring the two women sorting out the unspoken tensions<\/a> in their yearslong friendship through song. The Moment star is now fresh off the release of new album Music, Fashion, Film, which arrived July 24, and on Friday (July 31), she\u2019ll take her turn as a headliner<\/a> on day two of the Chicago festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt night one, the duet was part of a setlist spanning songs from Lorde\u2019s most recent album, Virgin \u2014 which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200<\/a> \u2014 and past LPs Pure Heroine, Melodrama and Solar Power. Her set followed a day that also featured performances from sombr, Wet Leg, 5 Seconds of Summer, Audrey Hobert and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe crowd was tightly packed, to the point where Lorde had to pause her show and direct security at least three times to assist fans who\u2019d passed out in the audience, according to NBC Chicago<\/a>. It was in the mid-80s outside by the time she took the stage that evening.<\/p>\n
