Be it standing in her Calvin Klein
underwear and Blues rugby T-shirt, sipping from her rainbow water bottle (her Instagram profile picture that is “probably more famous than her”, she jokes), or running on a treadmill while singing Supercut, Lorde proved to her Tāmaki Makaurau brothers and sisters that being yourself, especially when things are against you, is one of the most empowering things you can do.

It was the most assured down trou I have ever seen. When the whole of Wolfbrook Arena flushed red for ‘Current Affairs’, a three-minute song more illicit and erotically-charged than anything ‘Wuthering Heights’ could muster in two hours, Lorde dropped her baggy men’s jeans to reveal a sweat-soaked pair of blood red Calvins. Song after song, she continued to peel off layer after layer, determined to remove all obstacles between her and the audience and reach the kind of total transparency of Virgin’s infamous x-ray album cover.
