In the famous words of Randy Marsh: "I am Lorde, ya ya ya". It was a case of life imitating art overnight when a Lorde impersonator fooled fans at an Auckland event into thinking the real Lorde was performing for them.
Sadness befell me when I found out it wasn't Randy but nevertheless, this story is gas.
According to Billboard, a group of 100 Lorde fans got duped during a “No Lights No Lycra Dance Party” event at a library in Auckland, New Zealand.
There was chatter that the "Royals" singer would make a guest appearance, and when she arrived in the pitch black, she did not disappoint, said a fan.
“You know you are in Auckland City when Lorde casually rocks out as the surprise guest at your local No Lights No Lycra hosted at the community library!", someone posted.
A “super ultra special guest” had been teased in the lead-up to the event, and attendees hoped she'd perform her new single "Green Light".
Welp, turns out it was all a stunt and the Lorde impersonator was actually singer Hannah, as revealed by the organiser:
