Lorde Shares Her Journey of Vulnerability During the ‘Ultrasound’ Tour

## Lorde’s Transformative World Tour

Lorde describes her ongoing world tour as “completely transformative.” The acclaimed New Zealand artist shared insights into her *Ultrasound* tour, discussing both the hurdles and triumphs while speaking with a prominent media outlet.

### Unique Performance Approach

In a refreshing departure from conventional performances, Lorde engages her audience by changing outfits in their view. Instead of retreating backstage, she transitions from jeans to casual clothing right before their eyes. “I liked the idea of the audience getting to see that change, because it’s a very simple change,” she explained, highlighting how each removal symbolizes a transformation.

### Behind-the-Scenes Revelations

A significant aspect of this tour is Lorde’s choice to expose the technical elements usually concealed during live shows. With a camera crew capturing candid moments, attendees experience the show’s raw energy. This intimate approach, which reveals the technical setup, enhances the connection between Lorde and her audience.

### Impactful Visuals

One of the standout moments occurs during the performance of “Man of the Year,” where Lorde tapes her chest live on stage, mirroring the visuals from the song’s music video. “From before there was even an album, I knew that would be a really important thing to see live,” she shared.

> “It felt like an image I had never seen, and it felt incredibly vulnerable and powerful to me.”

Lorde expressed the emotional depth of this act, describing how it transforms her into a powerful figure on stage. The rawness of the moment creates an electric atmosphere, resonating deeply with her audience.

### Upcoming Tour Dates

Lorde’s tour will continue its journey to Europe in November and will arrive in New Zealand and Australia in February. New shows have been added to accommodate demand, marking her first return to the region since the *Solar Power* tour in 2023.

### Supporting New Music

This tour supports her latest album, *Virgin*, which debuted at the top of the charts in New Zealand.
