When Lorde announces she’ll be in Washington Square Park at 7pm…
and then the crowd is so insane that she can’t actually appear at 7pm, and WSP turns into a giant Lorde dance party…
but then Lorde shows up at 9:35 and performs (dances to?) her new song What Was That.
What a crazy night! Gotta love NYC pop-up concerts
