Lorde Quotes Taylor Swift Lyric While Reflecting on Final ‘Virgin’ Shows: ‘It Was You & Me All the Way Through’
The singer has just two more festival dates on her calendar before the album chapter comes to a close.
Lorde expressed her excitement as she prepares for the final two performances of her Virgin album cycle. On Thursday (Oct. 8), the pop star quoted a Taylor Swift lyric while reflecting on the end of her festival run. She shared a photo of a matcha drink carrier on her Instagram Story, which read "Thank you" on the side. In her caption, Lorde expressed that the upcoming dates were an "exit ceremony for this album" as well as a "beginning."
She thanked her audience for making it "the most inspiring special tour I have ever been on," stating that "it was you and me all the way through." The two singers have been close friends for many years, with Lorde even referring to Taylor Swift as a key member of her "squad" in the mid-2010s. The back-to-back festival dates mark Lorde's last shows on her calendar after touring in support of Virgin for over a year.
She started with her Ultrasound arena tour in September 2024, followed by her festival run at Gov Ball in June. During one of her recent performances, Lorde wore a "Free Palestine" jacket onstage at the first weekend of ACL and shared a photo of the outfit on Instagram, tagging an unverified account for Robert Kraft, the owner of Gillette Stadium.
