Lorde surprised fans with a message to meet at Washington Square Park in NYC for a potential performance of her new song shortly before its official release. The park was overwhelmed with visitors anticipating the event. However, the excitement was cut short when police intervened, citing a lack of proper permits required for such gatherings. After apologizing on social media, Lorde later visited the park and lip-synced to her unreleased track, offering fans a glimpse of her new music despite the formal concert cancellation.
When people got there, it was packed... fans climbing trees to see her, everyone was buzzing, they knew they were about to witness something big.
Apparently, Lorde didn't have the proper permits to hold a concert in the park... events like this need both a sound and parks permit.
Lorde quickly took to Instagram to apologize, writing: 'Omg @thepark the cops are shutting us down. I am truly amazed by how many of you showed up!'
Even though it wasn't a full performance, the moment still gave lucky fans who stuck around a sneak peek.
