What’s This Mysterious Lorde Advertisement All About?
We forgive you for being slightly distracted by the insanity of the Oscars over the weekend. But there's a pressing matter at hand: new Lorde...something.
While watching TV, one eagle-eyed Twitter user in New Zealand caught a rather strange advertisement on TV NZ1 featuring Lorde sitting backseat in a car, snacking on food and sipping soda before suddenly cutting to two dates: "3.2.17 NYC 3.3.17 NZ." That's it.
We've already heard (loud) rumbles of the "Royal" singer-songwriter's long-awaited return in the past few weeks, with an alleged single release date of March 7 and a confirmed performance on Saturday Night Live on March 11.
But as for March 2 — AKA this Thursday? We're not sure. The single? A whole album? Anything is possible.
“Writing Pure Heroine was my way of enshrining our teenage glory, putting it up in lights forever so that part of me never dies, and this record – well, this one is about what comes next," she teased fans in an update back in November.
Brace yourselves: she's coming. Watch below.
