In a recent conversation with New York Magazine for its "Culturati 50" feature, Lorde spoke about her favorite cultural moments of 2025. Among multiple notable revelations, it was her reaction to the somewhat controversial storyline in The White Lotus season 3 that caught attention.Lorde said she "loved the incest storyline" in the third season of the HBO series and felt viewers needed to push past discomfort. The singer stated:"The White Lotus, half of The Rehearsal, Dying for Sex, and two episodes of The Studio. That is all the TV I watched this year. I have watched all the seasons of White Lotus. The first season was hard to top, but I have completed the mission, so something is working on me."Lorde added:"It just feels like one of the few shared cultural events that we have. I wanna know what happened, you know? I loved the incest story line. I was like, "You guys are all prudes. Come on. Let's go for it. Bring the teeth! Freak us out, Mike!""Notably, Lorde admitted that despite not being someone who watches a lot of television, The White Lotus has remained a series she returns to every season. Lorde revealed that she has probably seen fewer than 150 movies in her life and does not own a TV.Lorde's other statements from the New York Magazine "Culturati 50" interviewBesides the question about her favorite TV shows, Lorde was also asked about her favorite movies, songs, and more. Speaking about her favorite movies of the year, the beloved singer mentioned:"I am rocked by one movie a year max, and I think about that movie all year and everything else I watch doesn’t permeate. I loved One Battle After Another. I felt awake. Paul Thomas Anderson is so good at balancing raw humanity with something funny. I’m a reader more than anything. So I’m really reading that script as I watch it: “Lunatics, haters and punk trash.” That’s so good."Shedding some light on her favorite albums or songs of 2025, Lorde revealed:"Baby, by Dijon. I am increasingly impressed by people who are making work that feels distinctly human. It is pretty hard these days to outpace the algorithm as culture makers. And that album felt like something that it would take the algorithm a while to become human enough to imitate."Lorde continued:"I feel his blood flowing through it. It's a guttural, raw, big, sexy swing. He is a similar age to me, and he has obviously had a baby, but it’s an age where you’re starting to look at your world a bit differently. Anyone making a work of pop about parenting, I am into that. It’s sick."Lorde is currently on her ongoing Ultrasound global tour. She shared that her "two nights at Glastonbury" were among her most memorable concerts. The Royals singer mentioned:"My two nights at Glastonbury were unspeakably fabulous. Virgin had just come out, and we had played in the morning, and we had this huge feeling of release. It’s so vast and also so intimate. All of my friends were there. It was a much-needed catharsis. This year, I also saw Four Tet, who I love. Charli XCX was sick. We danced for 12 hours."Lorde's upcoming live dates and stops are as follows:Friday, December 1, 2025, Munich, Germany, at Zenith (with The Japanese House)Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Cologne, Germany, at Palladium (with The Japanese House)Friday, December 5, 2025, Berlin, Germany, at Max Schmeling Halle (with The Japanese House)Saturday, December 6, 2025, Łódź, Poland, at Atlas Arena (with The Japanese House and Erika de Casier)Monday, December 8, 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark, at Royal Arena (with The Japanese House and Erika de Casier)Tuesday, December 9, 2025, Stockholm, Sweden, at Annexet (with The Japanese House)Tuesday, December 16, 2025, Brooklyn, NY, at Barclays CenterWednesday, December 17, 2025, Brooklyn, NY, at Barclays CenterWednesday, February 11, 2026, Auckland, New Zealand, at Spark Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Friday, February 13, 2026, Christchurch, New Zealand, at Wolfbrook Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Monday, February 16, 2026, Brisbane, Australia, at Brisbane Entertainment Centre (with Kevin Abstract)Wednesday, February 18, 2026, Sydney, Australia, at Qudos Bank Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Thursday, February 19, 2026, Sydney, Australia, at Qudos Bank Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Saturday, February 21, 2026, Melbourne, Australia, at Rod Laver Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Sunday, February 22, 2026, Melbourne, Australia, at Rod Laver Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Wednesday, February 25, 2026, Perth, Australia, at RAC Arena (with Kevin Abstract)Friday, March 13, 2026, Buenos Aires, Argentina, at Lollapalooza ArgentinaSaturday, March 14, 2026, Santiago, Chile, at Lollapalooza ChileTuesday, March 17, 2026, Asuncion, Paraguay, at AsunciónicoFriday, March 20, 2026, Bogotá, Colombia, at Festival Estereo PicnicSunday, March 22, 2026, São Paulo, Brazil, at Lollapalooza BrasilTuesday, April 28, 2026, Monterrey, Mexico, at Auditorio BanamexWednesday, April 29, 2026, Guadalajara, Mexico, at Auditorio TelmexFriday, May 1, 2026, Mexico City, Mexico, at Palacio de los DeportesThursday, May 14, 2026, Los Angeles, CA, at Kia ForumFriday, May 15, 2026, Salt Lake City, UT, at Kilby Block PartyFriday, May 15, 2026, Los Angeles, CA, at Kia ForumThursday, July 9, 2026, Madrid, Spain, at Mad Cool FestivalSaturday, July 11, 2026, Algés, Portugal, at NOS AliveMonday, July 13, 2026, Nîmes, France, at Festival de NîmesWednesday, July 15, 2026, Ostrava, Czechia, at Colours of OstravaThursday, July 23, 2026, Milan, Italy, at UnaltrofestivalFriday, July 31, 2026, Saint Charles, IA, at Hinterland Music FestivalThursday, August 13, 2026, Gothenburg, Sweden, at Way Out WestThursday, August 13, 2026, Copenhagen, Denmark, at Syd for SolenThursday, August 20, 2026, Saint Pölten, Austria, at Frequency FestivalSaturday, August 22, 2026, London, UK, at All Points EastTuesday, August 25, 2026, Edinburgh, Scotland, at Edinburgh Summer Sessions (with Zara Larsson and Audrey Hobert)Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, at RockhalAlso Read: "This time it's all about the truth": Internet erupts as Netflix drops official teaser for Diddy documentary, with 50 Cent as exec producerScarlett Johansson vs Woody Allen: Net worth compared as actress opens up about supporting the filmmaker amid allegationsWhich artists are headlining Reading & Leeds Festival 2026?
