Lorde Debuts New Song in Washington Square Park, Two Hours After Police Shut Down Earlier Pop-Up Show
Lorde premiered her new single 'What Was That' in New York's Washington Square Park Tuesday, two hours after police had shut down the gathering.
Lorde debuted her forthcoming single “What Was That” at a pop-up event in New York’s Washington Square Park Tuesday night, about two hours after police had shut down the gathering due to overcrowding. While many fans left, many lingered, and eventually Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes — who is reported to have collaborated on Lorde’s new album — arrived with a portable speaker blasting the song. According to Pitchfork, lyrics include: “I’m missing you/ And all the things we used to do/ MDMA in the back garden, blow our pupils up/ We kissed for hours straight but baby, what was that?/ I remember saying then/ This is the best cigarette of my life/ Well I want you just like that.”
