As Charli XCX began her verse in 'Girl, so confusing' at Madison Square Garden, you could see the frizzy mane of Lorde in the prop cage below the stage.
This could well have been the loudest audience explosion I've ever heard... a 'pop'- when the crowd deems whatever is happening to be so extremely good it warrants an above-average ovation.
Here was Charli XCX, one stiletto perched on top of the zeitgeist, so thoroughly in command of the crowd that she could have played Brat on Spotify with ads and everyone would have said, Yes, thank you.
It was so real. It was so fake. It was so Brat.
