Lorde BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Lorde has been at the center of a major musical resurgence over the past several days with a string of headline-grabbing developments, new music releases, public appearances, and influential interviews. Her new single Hammer just dropped, celebrated as an “ode to city life and horniness,” and marks the final teaser ahead of her highly anticipated album Virgin, set for global release on June 27. The song and its stylish, city-drenched video have been showcased across major music publications and social feeds, with Consequence even naming her prior comeback single What Was That as one of the best of 2025 so far. In the last week, she built enormous buzz by hosting a pop-up performance in Washington Square Park, which was ultimately dispersed by the NYPD due to permitting issues. Despite police intervention, Lorde managed to return later in the evening, dancing and singing the new track to a crowd of diehard fans. This spontaneous event and its drama splashed across news sites, TikTok, and fan Twitter accounts, cementing her public profile as both enigmatic and fan-dedicated.

Adding further fuel, Lorde announced her long-awaited Ultrasound tour, a sweeping set of North American and international dates running from September through December and including arena stops in Austin, Chicago, Toronto, New York, London, Berlin, and many more cities worldwide. The pre-sale for the tour has generated a frenzy on social media, from clips of classic hits like Ribs and Green Light to speculation about possible surprise collaborations. She also confirmed a headliner slot at Lollapalooza 2026 in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, where she’ll share the bill with Tyler The Creator and Sabrina Carpenter, providing a major global stage for her new music.

Critically, Virgin is already making waves, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and receiving in-depth reviews for its introspective lyrics—reflecting on themes of nostalgia, heartbreak, and post-breakup renewal. In a revealing interview with BBC Radio 1, Lorde opened up about past struggles with disordered eating and how overcoming those issues has reignited her creativity and performance energy—a candid admission widely reported and supported by the personal themes echoed in Virgin’s tracks. As always, Lorde’s every move—whether an impromptu park singalong or a festival announcement—seems to ignite both media attention and heartfelt discussion among fans, confirming her status as a defining pop auteur of her generation.
