Abrams Honors Pop Icon Lorde During "The Secret of Us Tour" Performance
Rewritten Article:
Gracie Abrams, riding high from her electric Asia tour, blew the roof off Auckland, New Zealand recently. During her breathtaking performance at the Spark Arena on April 29, Gracie did more than just entertain--she paid homage to Kiwi's music queen, Lorde.
Belted out amidst the thundering applause was Lorde's chart-topping hit, Liability. In a fuzzy-but-heartfelt video clip, shared by ecstatic fans, Gracie confessed her love for the song, declaring it one of her all-time favorites.
The emotional moment was sparked by Gracie's reminiscences of home. She shared that while in New Zealand, and with Lorde's recent release of What Was That, she'd been pondering the melodious Kiwi songstress a lot.
Following this heartfelt gesture, fans knew they weren't just watching a concert; they were part of a special moment shared between music soulmates.
Gracie and Lorde have an unspoken camaraderie that goes beyond the stage. In an interview with Billboard, Gracie described her time with Lorde as if she were "800 years old inside," her nerves seeming to relax under their bond.
With almost three months of shows left in Australia and Europe, Gracie's first-ever arena tour continues to take the world by storm. The tour supports her critically-acclaimed sophomore album, The Secret of Us.
Though Lorde hasn't released a new album since Solar Power in 2021, fans remain optimistic about new music. Lorde herself added fuel to the fire, teasing in a voice note earlier this month that "Everything is about to change. I'm so ready."
