Lorde Teams Up with Charli XCX for ‘Girl, So Confusing’ in L.A. Concert

## Surprise Performance by Lorde and Charli XCX

Lorde and Charli XCX thrilled fans last night with an unexpected performance of their remix of Charli’s hit, “Girl, So Confusing.” This special collaboration took place during Lorde’s Ultrasound World Tour at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Fans were given a hint when Lorde highlighted the word “Girl” on her palm, as captured in video footage. This clever clue preceded the moment when Charli emerged for the encore.

## Live Collaboration

Lorde made her entrance on a small platform among the crowd, setting the stage for their duet. Charli’s footage played on the big screen as she joined Lorde on the floor, walking through the audience before making her way to the platform. Their dynamic performance of the track from *Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat* captivated the audience.

Lorde and Charli previously showcased this remix during Charli’s co-headlining Sweat Tour in 2024. They also performed it earlier this year at Coachella, further solidifying its growing popularity.

## Resonance of the Collaboration

Even a year after the remix debuted, its theme surrounding complex female friendships continues to strike a chord. The narrative of their collaboration speaks not only to their connection but also resonates with other female artists. For instance, the band Hinds has been performing their own take on the remix during their tour, illustrating the track’s widespread influence.

## Upcoming Tour Dates

Lorde’s Ultrasound tour is ongoing, with three more stops scheduled in the U.S. She is set to perform in Berkeley tonight, followed by shows in Portland and Seattle. After the U.S. leg, she will embark on a European and UK tour, wrapping up 2025 with two performances at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on December 16 and 17.
