Lorde performed in Los Angeles on Saturday night. Halfway through her set, the singer brought out Charli XCX on the stage. Together, the duo performed the remix of Girl, So Confusing, their collaboration born from Charli XCX's Grammy-winning album Brat. The moment was quick to go viral online. Fans reacted, saying:
"This is more iconic than the entire eras tour"
Lorde and Charli XCX first performed the song together at Coachella 2025, where Charli XCX's set became one of the most talked-about of the festival. Lorde appeared mid-set to join Charli on stage. That moment also went viral. Back then, it sparked rumors of Lorde's comeback after a hiatus following her 2021 album Solar Power.
Netizens' reactions to Lorde bringing out Charli XCX for "Girl, so confusing" remix performance
Pop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share a clip of their performance, captioning:
"Lorde brought out Charli xcx to perform the “Girl, so confusing” remix in Los Angeles."
Netizens were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the X post as they penned their opinions about the duo's performance. Below are some of their reactions:
"Just watched Lorde pull Charli xcx on stage and I'm still not over how that remix basically saved both their careers this year. The crowd went absolutely feral and I can't blame them because that song hits different when you're screaming it with 20,000 other people who also have complicated feelings about female friendships.", stated a fan.
"Pop history just got a sequel, Lorde and Charli XCX on one stage performing “Girl, so confusing” live? That’s like Tumblr-core meeting hyperpop royalty. The crowd probably ascended mid-bridge.", declared another.
"Now that's a collaboration I’d love to see live! Bet the crowd was bouncing, two powerhouses making magic together, sounds like a right good time!", wrote a third.
Others also chimed in:
"Let’s be real, Charli didn’t just feature. she took over. Lorde had that polite, distant energy she always has, but Charli came in with chaos, precision, and star power. It’s almost unfair to see how effortlessly she dominates a stage that is not even hers. You could feel the crowd’s mood flip in real time.", commented an X user.
"Girl, so confusing is already an amazing track, but hearing them perform it live together must have been absolutely unreal! The LA crowd is so lucky.", noted another.
"eh, kinda disagree this is all about Lorde's tour. wait though, Charli had Lorde perform this remix with her first back in Sept 2024 on her tour... doesn't this feel more like Charli supporting Lorde's comeback since she headlined her own huge Brat tour already?", opined a third.
This Los Angeles concert was part of Lorde's Ultrasound World Tour, which has been designed to support her latest album, Virgin. The album has been praised by fans and enthusiasts. During recent tour stops, she has also performed Green Light, Perfect Places, and The Louvre alongside new songs like Hammer and David.
