Lorde BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lorde’s week has been nothing short of electric, personally and professionally. All eyes are on her as she takes her Ultrasound World Tour across North America, with sold out dates announced in Chicago, New York, and Toronto—Madison Square Garden’s show landing among the fastest sellers, and excitement swirling for upcoming stops at legendary venues like Red Rocks and the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The momentum follows her June release of Virgin, the widely talked-about fourth studio album, which devotees and critics have hailed as a sort of artistic rebirth. Attention has zeroed in on the single What Was That, praised for its raw emotion and produced with an indie dream team of Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro, further staking her claim as a driving force in pop innovation. According to United Center’s own announcement, anticipation for her live set is running high after powerful glimpses into the new material’s sonic world.

But it’s not just her music making headlines—in a candid cover feature for Dazed magazine, Lorde opened up with rare vulnerability about her gender identity journey, elaborating on statements she made to Rolling Stone earlier this year. She recounted first taping her chest in 2023, describing the revelation as a “pure version of myself,” and shared how songwriting for her track Man of the Year crystallized years of therapy and personal exploration. She explained that while she continues to use she/her pronouns, her relationship with gender is fluid, with some days finding her eschewing traditional women’s clothes and makeup, preferring what she calls male grooming. Lorde admitted the process is ongoing and uncertain, saying, “I have no idea where it's gonna go; it doesn't feel like I've arrived anywhere permanent at all.” This forthrightness has only deepened public fascination, sparking waves of support and discussion on social media, and trending topics like #LordeTruth and #VirginEra now regularly cycle on X and Instagram.

Socially, Lorde’s honest reflections on her mental health and internet habits have also drawn buzz. In her Dazed interview she described the internet as a “poisonous place,” while also admitting she’s “plugged in” to online culture again—an observation quickly recirculated by NZCity and representing a reversal from her former digital withdrawal. On Instagram Reels, her older track The Butterfly Effect from Solar Power is experiencing a renaissance as the soundtrack for a nostalgia-driven viral trend, racking up over 15K posts and underscoring her continued cultural relevance even beyond her most recent album cycle.

No major business ventures or endorsements have come to light in the past few days, with her focus remaining squarely on the art and her performances. Long-term, Lorde’s willingness to speak openly about evolving identity and mental health may prove nearly as significant to her legacy as her music, carving out new space for honesty and fluidity in contemporary pop. The music world is watching—and listening.
