A Night of Pop Unity in Los Angeles
The energy at Los Angeles’s Kia Forum reached a fever pitch on Saturday night when Lorde delivered an unforgettable surprise during her “Ultrasound World Tour.” In a moment that has since captivated social media, the singer brought out fellow pop superstar Charli XCX for a live rendition of their collaborative remix, “Girl, So Confusing.”
The Ultimate Reveal
During the show’s encore, Lorde masterfully built the suspense. As seen in numerous fan videos, she gave the audience a cryptic clue by writing the word “Girl” on the palm of her hand and underlining it. The hint was all fans needed to erupt in speculation.
Positioned on a small stage in the middle of the crowd, Lorde began singing the track’s intro. Simultaneously, the main stage screen lit up with footage of Charli XCX, who then emerged from the main floor. She navigated through the ecstatic audience to join Lorde on the platform, where the two delivered a powerful, dance-heavy performance of the track from Charli’s album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat.
A History of Collaboration
This wasn’t the first time the duo has shared a stage to perform the hit remix. Fans were previously treated to the duet during Charli’s co-headlining “Sweat Tour” with Troye Sivan in 2024 and again during her electrifying set at Coachella earlier this year. Each performance strengthens the public’s fascination with their dynamic.
The Song’s Enduring Impact
Released a year ago, the confessional remix of “Girl, So Confusing” delves into the complexities and insecurities of female friendships within the music industry. The track has resonated deeply not only with fans but also with other artists. Indie band Hinds recently released their own cover version, demonstrating the song’s widespread influence and cultural significance.
As Lorde’s tour continues its journey across the United States before heading to Europe, this Los Angeles show will undoubtedly be remembered as a standout moment, celebrating a powerful friendship and an undeniable pop anthem.
