Pop tours in 2025 are generally one of two categories: extravagant spectacle or stripped-down dance party. Lorde's "Ultrasound World Tour" is, refreshingly, something in the middle. While other stars have cornered the market on being the provocateur, the drama queen, the rock star, the posh performer, Lorde has always presented as the more left-of-center, elemental type. So, it's fitting that her show at New York's Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, October 1st was equally idiosyncratic.

The Boss released a 7-disc box set documenting unreleased tracks from 1983 to 2018, titled Tracks II: The Lost Albums, making it a significant event for fans.

Lorde's music explores intense physicality and complicated relationships with her body, blending themes of femininity, disordered eating, and creative labor through visceral lyrics.

The excitement among the 200,000 ticket holders as the first chords of music rang across Worthy Farm was palpable.

In 'Current Affairs,' Lorde channels her emotional distress from illicit relationships, masking her true feelings by blaming them on 'current affairs' instead.

I felt like stopping taking my birth control, I had cut some sort of cord between myself and this regulated femininity. It sounds crazy, but I felt that all of a sudden, I was off the map of femininity.

I felt so hungry and so weak. I was on TV that morning, and I didn't eat because I wanted my tummy to be small in the dress. It was just this sucking of a life force or something.

This body of work reflected a period of personal transformation for me, facing my body and gender directly while experiencing a significant wave of grief.

This individual did not possess either. Organizers of the event were informed they could not perform and they left the location.

"Omg @thepark the cops are shutting us down. I am truly amazed by how many of you showed up!!! But they're telling me you gotta disperse ... I'm so sorry."
