This weekend was the annual Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, and while everyone was psyched out of their minds to witness Lorde's greatness, no one could have imagined the pure magic that swept the crowd on Friday night.
I mean, not even Lorde anticipated the wizardry that went down.
Fuckin hell wasn't expecting that level of alchemy
But it did. And it was magic, and it took all of our souls away.
For starters, she debuted "Perfect Places" live and fucking slayed all of our lives in the process.

And then Jack Antonoff joined her onstage for a cover of Robyn's "Hang With Me" that made our hearts explode.

But the entire show was something from another universe.

It was, quite possibly, the best hour of some of our lives.
