Footage posted by fans to TikTok show the singer jogging on a treadmill in her undergarments singing Supercut, a multi-platinum-selling song from 2017\u2019s Melodrama album.<\/p>\n

\u201cBest night of my life,\u201d one TikTok user commented on a clip from the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna sob… this was life changing,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n

A third fan said the experience was a \u201ccore memory unlocked\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember playing tiny clubs, I remember playing Laneway here when I was 16,\u201d Lorde told fans during some stage patter.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou would just show up and with so much passion. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re down to f*** around and find out, that\u2019s why we\u2019re still meeting up like this after 13 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Lorde brought her tour home to New Zealand for two sold-out shows at Auckland\u2019s Spark Arena and Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch, where she also shed her clothes as part of a stage routine to reveal her Calvin Klein underwear.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle reporter Mitchell Hageman, who reviewed the show<\/a>, said <\/a>the night was \u201cethereal, raw, quirky, emotional, bizarre\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was hard not to feel a pang in your heart and realise the gravity of our homegirl\u2019s achievements, and what it means for her to represent us on the world stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLorde proved to her T\u0101maki Makaurau brothers and sisters that being yourself, especially when things are against you, is one of the most empowering things you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lorde\u2019s Ultrasound World Tour will play a second Sydney show tonight, before moving to Melbourne later this week and one final show in Perth next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Footage posted by fans to TikTok show the singer jogging on a treadmill in her undergarments singing Supercut,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[12889,1975,92456,16563,6097,156,3218,685,32586,161454,157,111,139,2551,69,1118,13792,44404,5202,13018,1305,1324,34703,34699,1734,61,208,6915,61993,377],"class_list":{"0":"post-291418","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-aotearoa","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-boxer","11":"tag-briefs","12":"tag-down","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-icon","15":"tag-last","16":"tag-lorde","17":"tag-maroon","18":"tag-music","19":"tag-new-zealand","20":"tag-newzealand","21":"tag-night","22":"tag-nz","23":"tag-of","24":"tag-pair","25":"tag-pants","26":"tag-part","27":"tag-performing","28":"tag-show","29":"tag-stop","30":"tag-stripped","31":"tag-strips","32":"tag-sydney","33":"tag-to","34":"tag-tour","35":"tag-ultrasound","36":"tag-underwear","37":"tag-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
