The setlist opened with “Hammer,” one of her newest singles, before quickly shifting into Pure Heroine classic “Royals.” Across the night, Lorde balanced hits like “Green Light,” “Team,” and “Supercut” with deeper cuts beloved by longtime fans, including “Buzzcut Season” and “No Better.”
Songs from Virgin such as “Favourite Daughter,” “Current Affairs,” and “If She Could See Me Now” were also given their live debut.
