Lorde surprises fans at album release party in Berlin as she performs to a small group after raising eyebrows with cover artwork
The singer, 28, who recently raised eyebrows with her latest album cover's artwork, arrived at riverside venue Spindler & Klatt on a boat.
She flashed her midriff in a crossover halterneck top that featured a tasselled trim and black cargo trousers.
Lorde accessorised her outfit with a pair of rectangular sunglasses and styled her hair into waves.
The event, hosted by Universal Music, was to celebrate the launch of her new album Virgin, with fans having no idea that the musician would actually perform.
The album cover features an x-ray of her pelvis with her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper visible and - inter-uterine device included.
It's not entirely clear if the X-ray is of Lorde but DailyMail.com has reached out for comment to confirm.
The singer dropped the visual to her Instagram where she also announced the title of her fourth studio album and it's release date as June 27.
Elsewhere, Lorde was pictured with her rumoured new man, Jim E-Stack, 33, after seemingly going public with their relationship at Glastonbury over the weekend.
The musician, from New Zealand, wowed fans with a surprise set at the iconic music festival on Friday.
Following the bravura performance, she was seen arriving at the London Heliport in Battersea with Jim.
He is a producer and DJ, who has also worked with the likes of Haim, Bon Iver and Empress Of.
According to The Sun, the singer was spotted 'getting close with the musician on stage' after playing the surprise Glastonbury set
The pair were also seen 'with their arms around each other while they watched The 1975' and went on 'partying until well after 4am'.
MailOnline has contacted Lorde's representatives for comment.
The blossoming romance comes as Jim's ex-girlfriend Kacy Hill took a savage dig at him on her TikTok platform.
The American singer, 31, revealed that her six-and-a-half year relationship came to an end when he started working with Lorde on her single Man Of The Year.
She penned: 'Let's hear it for the man who ended a 6.5 year relationship while making a girl's album then started dating her'.
Lorde and Jim were previously linked in October 2024 when the pair were seen making a rare public outing in New York.
At the time, Lorde hadn't been pictured with her music executive boyfriend Justin Warren since March 2023.
The pair began fuelling rumours they are working on a new album together after Jim E-Stack shared a photo of Lorde to Instagram in August.

Lewis Capaldi 'blown away' by response to new song after topping the charts
The Glasgow-born singer has enjoyed a remarkable comeback to the music scene in recent weeks. Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has expressed his astonishment at the overwhelming response to his latest single, marking a triumphant return to the music scene. The 28-year-old's new track, Survive, shot to the top of the charts this week, securing the Number 1 spot. According to the Official Charts, the song has garnered over four million streams in its debut week. That marks the largest opening week of any Number 1 single in 2025 thus far. The accomplishment is the latest milestone in Capaldi's remarkable comeback, which has included a surprise performance at Glastonbury. The Glasgow-born artist also made an appearance at a Swiss music festival and has announced a comeback tour, with scheduled dates at the Hydro and P&J Live in Aberdeen later this year. The talent will also play shows in London, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Dublin. Taking to Instagram, the Forget Me chanter expressed his gratitude, stating he has been "absolutely blown away" by the response and "cannot thank everyone enough". In a video message, he added: "I just wanted to do a video to say thank you to every single person who has streamed, downloaded, and bought a physical copy of Survive this week. "We are number 1 in the UK, it's the fastest-selling song in the UK this year. "I'm over the moon to be back doing what I love doing, and thanks to you we're back at number 1. "I'll see you all soon. Love you. Bye." Thousands of people rushed to the comment section to congratulate the Someone You Loved singer on the feat, including some famous faces. Liverpool musician Jamie Webster commented: "Good to have you back lad. Congratulations." Sonny Jay, Capital Late Show Host and Dancing on ice 2021 champion, scribed: "What a man". Meanwhile, rapper Professor Green and TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson posted red love heart emojis in support. X Factor duo Jedward also made their feelings known, writing: "Always number 1 in our hearts". Last weekend, Capaldi performed a 35-minute set at Glastonbury's Pyramid stage, two years after struggling to manage his Tourette syndrome symptoms while singing on the same stage. The condition causes you to make sudden, repetitive sounds or movements and while there is no cure, treatment can help manage the tics, according to the NHS website. Introducing Survive at the festival, Capaldi became visibly emotional as he said: 'The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times... This has been my f****** goal, to get back here." Speaking to Official Charts, Capaldi thanked fans who had streamed and downloaded Survive, saying it "really means the world". "I've been away for a little while, and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible," he said. "I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury – and now this. "It's been the best week of my life." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Alisson explains his absence from Diogo Jota's funeral as he posts emotional message following tragic death of his Liverpool team-mate
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has explained why he was unable to attend the funeral of Diogo Jota, who died alongside his brother Andre Silva in a car crash in Spain earlier this week. Alisson, who has been team-mates with Jota at Liverpool since 2020, posted an emotional tribute on Instagram, revealing that he was separated by an ocean from 'saying goodbye' to someone he loved. 'Usually, I post things that make sense, but today, nothing makes sense! Once again, an ocean separates me from "saying goodbye" to someone I love! But I know that I am well represented by my club mates!' Alisson wrote, alongside a black and white photo of himself, his wife Natalia, Jota, Jota's partner Rute and their children together. 'To you, my friend @rutecfcardoso14, just know that you will never walk alone, we will be with you as soon as possible!' Alisson described Jota — whose death came less than two weeks after he and Rute were married — as a 'great friend, father and husband' and added: 'In a moment like this, all we can do is bow down before the Sovereignty of God, and receive grace and help in this time.' He concluded his message by quoting the Bible passage Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, which speaks of there being a time for every purpose under heaven, including 'a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to weep, and a time to laugh.' Alisson could not make it to Jota's funeral but many other Liverpool stars past and present did While Alisson could not be there in person, many of Jota's Liverpool team-mates past and present attended the funeral service in Gondomar, Portugal, on Saturday. Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Joe Gomez were among those who paid their respects, with Van Dijk and Robertson seen carrying floral tributes into the church. Liverpool manager Arne Slot and several Portuguese internationals, including Bruno Fernandes, Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves, also attended, joining hundreds of mourners who lined the streets to honour Jota, who scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool and won the Premier League title with the club last season. Jota was only 28 when he died. His brother was 25.
