Ten thousand adoring fans gave Kiwi superstar Lorde a royal homecoming last night in Auckland in her first performance at home after winning two Grammys.
The 17-year-old singer and Auckland local, real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor, kept the sell-out crowd waiting before unleashing into track Bravado from her debut album Heroine, to ecstatic screams from her fans.
Dressed in her customary black on black, she jolted around the stage to now-world-famous dance moves.
After three songs she flicked back her mop of curls and addressed the hometown crowd: “Auckland, it is so good to see you! This is for real insane.”
