このコンテンツについて
Lorde has seized the pop culture spotlight in the past week with a combination of breathtaking artistic highs and unflinching political controversy. On October 3, she mesmerized Pittsburgh at the Petersen Events Center with a show that pivoted from the melancholy to the defiantly hopeful following her acclaimed album Virgin. Fans described the energy as electric, with opening acts Chanel Beads and The Japanese House setting a mood of activism and vulnerability. The Japanese House’s statement, Trans rights are human rights, resonated with the diverse crowd and foreshadowed Lorde’s own willingness to fuse art and advocacy. The Anthem in Washington DC saw Lorde command the stage barefoot, running on a treadmill while the opening synths of Hammer underscored her raw, intense presence. Critics from The Eagle and The Pitt News agreed—this was a communal catharsis, as Lorde assured fans they’d be leaving in a puddle of sweat and tears.
Her Ultrasound World Tour, in support of Virgin, has cemented her as a risk-taker. According to The Post Athens and multiple outlets, her new album is a return to synth-heavy introspection after the acoustic turn of Solar Power. The cover, an X-ray of a pelvis with a visible IUD, and opening lyrics that toy with gender identity, have launched Virgin into conversation as one of the most influential albums of 2025.
Yet, this triumph spilled quickly into controversy. During a recent show, Lorde shouted free Palestine from the stage, and soon after, as reported by NewsHub and The Jerusalem Post, her music vanished from Apple Music and Spotify in Israel. While it remains unconfirmed if Lorde herself orchestrated the removal or if the streaming services acted independently, her history of pro-Palestinian activism—she canceled her 2017 show in Tel Aviv under similar pressure—places this move squarely in the context of the No Music for Genocide campaign. The debate raging on social media is fierce, with some lauding her commitment, others decrying her politics.
Still, Lorde’s upcoming tour dates are selling out at lightning speed, with stops slated for Las Vegas on October 17 and Berkeley’s Greek Theatre on October 19, both promising her signature stripped-down but visually immersive experience. Her setlists traverse her career, including rare deep cuts and reinvented classics. Lorde’s performance art now routinely includes symbolic acts of vulnerability—gradually removing layers of clothing on stage, walking barefoot, or even shedding her spotlight entirely to join fans in the crowd. Each night, the audience becomes part of the show, the sense of mutual reckoning both intimate and overwhelming. Critics have called this tour a masterpiece of communal release and self-reinvention, and for now, Lorde remains at the very center of both adulation and debate.
