Lorde always likes to play around with fun fashion choices and her latest outfit is getting the “green light” from us! (Get it?)
The 20-year-old singer hit the stage over the weekend for the iHeartRadio Beach Ball Summer Concert on Sunday night (September 3) in Vancouver, Canada.
It looks like Lorde is doing a lot better after suffering from the flu while performing at the VMAs one week earlier. She wasn’t able to sing, so she just danced while her vocals played on a track.
She stayed cool in a gingham crop top and matching skirt, both adorned with bows, completing her look with a pair of red sunglasses and furry heeled sandals.
“Always love seeing @lordemusic such a talent,” Vanessa captioned the Instagram pic below.
Vanessa‘s love of Lorde goes way back – she had nothing but praise after she and boyfriend Austin Butler attended the singer’s concert in LA back in 2014.
Lorde wasn’t able to sing at the 2017 MTV VMas due to the flu, but she brought her voice back for an intimate concert in Los Angeles Tuesday evening (August 29).
The 20-year-old singer sang a bunch of the songs off her new album, and got real with her fans about what the album means to her.
Specifically, Lorde explained what prompted her to write the song “Liability.”
“I started crying in the back of this Uber,” she remembered. “It was the kind of crying where I was like, trying to do it really quietly so the driver didn’t hear me. He definitely knew I was crying, let’s be real.”
“I was crying because I was feeling this very specific feeling of being too much for somebody. It’s a very strange feeling when you feel like you’re too much, or you’re taking up too much space, and I felt like nobody could ever love me for all that I am. … I feel everything so deeply, and that’s really what melodrama is about, is the depth of emotion.”
Lorde is looking stunning in her appearance on the red carpet at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards held at The Forum on Sunday (August 27) in Inglewood, Calif.
The 20-year-old singer kicked off what will absolutely be a memorable evening and we are giving the “Green Light” entertainer our green light on her fashion choice!
“Behind the scenes of a world i dreamt up and brought to life with my favourite crew,” Lorde added along with a slideshow on Instagram. “Grant, what a joy to make things with you and spend hours talking s–t in directors’ chairs on beaches at midnight. i love you!!! hope you guys enjoy the video in all its joy, boredom, pain, self-medication and surreality.”
Lorde‘s Melodrama World Tour kicks off on September 26 in Europe. Check out her list of North American tour dates here.

The 20-year-old opened up about her new music, why she doesn’t play instruments and her creative process. Check it:
On why she doesn’t play any instruments: “I’m hyper-musical, but I don’t really play anything. I write the songs with different chords because I know exactly what I want chord-wise, and then I sing out the chords. I’m very musical, just not in the traditional way, I guess.”
On her creative process: “I make work to challenge myself. The process is very much about me having a conversation with myself. It’s a very private process, and so I feel like I’ve run a marathon by the time it comes out. I do love that people hear the work; I think I would be sad if people didn’t.”
On the importance of writing “true” music: “The main thing is that you’re the only one who has to go home and still be you and live with what you’ve done that day. And so when it comes to making a decision about something, if people say I should [be] a certain way, I think, ‘You guys get to go home and take off the hat; [but] I never get to take off the hat.’”
