A DJ spinning tracks at a party in Sydney themed after the pop star Lorde has revealed the first words spoken by the New Zealand singer as she crashed the event. The “Royals” singer, 28, appeared unannounced at Sydney nightclub Mary’s Underground on Sunday for a Lorde-themed club night. DJ Emma Parke, aka xeimma, said upon arriving at the venue, “whispers” began to circulate Lorde was in town and heading to her own party, with her security scouring the venue prior to her arrival. “I’m one of the first to spot Lorde walking in, my friend told me she tapped her on the shoulder and was like ‘I heard there’s a club night on tonight’,” Parke told Australian radio show Hot Hits with Nic and Loren. “Slowly people turn around, process what’s going on and the energy in the room just shifts.” Lorde stayed for around 20 minutes, hitting the dance floor to sing fan favourite “Supercut” with clubbers. “I’m such a big fan of her myself, I know what the fans wanted and it went off,” Parke said. “She is just so genuine and kind, it felt like she was just there for the fans.” Parke has changed her Instagram bio to “Lorde’s personal DJ”. Lorde’s album Virgin, featuring the single “What Was That”, drops June 27.
