Lorde Brings Out Charli XCX at Kia Forum for ‘Girl, So Confusing’ Remix

The surprise encore put Lorde in charge of a collaboration that has moved between their stages since its 2024 reboot.

Overview

  • On Oct. 18 in Los Angeles, Lorde invited Charli XCX onstage during her Ultrasound World Tour stop at the Kia Forum to perform their collaborative remix of Charli’s “Girl, So Confusing.”
  • Lorde teased the reveal by asking “Can I trust you?” and writing “GIRL” on her palm before Charli entered from the arena floor to begin her verse.
  • This marked the first time the remix duet was led on Lorde’s tour, following joint performances at Charli’s Madison Square Garden show in September 2024 and her Coachella set in April 2025.
  • Lorde delivered her added verse, including the crowd-echoed line “Let’s work it out on the remix,” underscoring the confessional back-and-forth that reframed the song.
  • Lorde’s Ultrasound tour continues with U.S. dates in Berkeley, Portland, and Seattle before heading to Europe and the U.K.
