Welcome to independence baby! @lorde

Paraguay got a unique show production-wise. Lorde’s usual big lasers weren’t allowed as the venue was v close to an airport, so her team worked in extra lighting effects [📷: Asuncionico IG] #UltrasoundWorldTour

Extra pics from Lorde's messages. There were 6 in total, see my earlier tweet for the 2 others [thx to @LordeBrasil & Original_Opposite_40 on reddit for sharing the images for the fans in many countries who didn't receive Lorde's WhatsApp/Community posts today] #AddisonRae

TRANSCRIPTS of Lorde’s voice notes today, continued. Message 2. "At the end of last year, my label deal, my record contract with Universal, came to an end. I have been in that contract for a very, very long time, in some form of that contract since I was 12 years old…"

Thread – TRANSCRIPTS of Lorde’s voice notes today [Thxs goro-n on Reddit for typing these up] "We're building…a completely new show for our festival run this summer. We do these shows, Mexico, & then 2 forums & that's kind of the end of Ultra. Then we go to this festival show"

Lorde performed 'Sober' tonight at Asunción fest in Paraguay, first time on the #UltrasoundWorldTour! There was a heads-up this might happen from the paper setlist for the 1st fest in the leg the other day, which showed ‘Sober’ as a possible alt option in the 'Shapeshifter' slot

"When I see an opportunity for a clean slate, I try to take it… I feel a feeling of openness and possibility and I'm inspired… it just feels exciting to have removed the container or something for a second" - Lorde via voice note

But Lorde will likely not stay independent long-term: "But the truth is that a 12 year old girl pre-signed her, pre-sold her, her creative output…before she knew what she was signing away. So I, you know, I'm sure I'll have a deal again. Could well be with Universal"

The big news from Lorde’s voice notes is that her contract with UMG has come to an end & she’s now an Independent Artist! “At the end of last yr, my label deal, my record contract with Universal, came to an end…I've had an amazing experience with them" [pics via her messages]

Lorde re her merch sale, via her IG story – “And a lil sale. Need room in my storage unit…..” Great to see the Messenger Bag is now online

Confirmation of Lorde’s support acts for her upcoming 2 shows in LA (Smerz + Sophia Stel), and the 3 shows in Mexico (Erika de Casier), via her stories. #UltrasoundWorldTour
