GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND – JUNE 27: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde performs on the Woodsies stage during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK’s largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)

After a couple of listening parties and one surprise Glasto appearance, Lorde's Ultrasound World Tour officially kicked off in Austin last night. She sang all of her recent album Virgin along with some expected oldies-but-goodies like "Royals," "Supercut," "The Louvre," "Green Light," and "Ribs." She also did "No Better," a deeper cut from the extended version of her debut album Pure Heroine, for the first time since 2014.

See some audience clips of Lorde singing "No Better" below.
