Lorde rains in the Open Air
New Zealand teen sensation applies herself at SDSU
At 17, Lorde may not quite yet be old enough for college, but if the native New Zealander eventually decides to attend in the U.S., don’t be surprised to find her at San Diego State University. During her stop at the school’s Open Air Theatre, the Lorde praised the beauty of the campus, then told the crowd that she’d even bought an SDSU sweatshirt earlier in the day.
Unfortunately, fans never got to see it, as the singer was busy enough as it was with three costume changes during her 75-minute set. Performing on a sparsely decorated stage and backed by only a drummer and a keyboardist, Lorde captivated the audience under dramatic lighting, with a little frenetic dancing and a spectacular visual display during the song “Team” that sent confetti (each piece adorned with an image of her face) cascading down onto fans who scrambled to snatch up the free keepsakes.
Lorde’s stop in San Diego marked the final date on her fall tour, one that saw her stick with virtually the same set list every night. Despite being limited to just one album’s worth of material, her well-paced and musically impressive show suggests a bright future for the young pop star. Though, if the music thing doesn’t work out, SDSU is still taking applications for next fall.
- Concert: Lorde
- Date: October 10, 2014
- Venue: SDSU Open Air Theatre
- Seats: Terrace
