Lorde has addressed a viral video showing her shushing her audience at concerts, saying that it takes what she was doing very much out of context, while accompanying claims online that she hates people singing along at her shows are completely wrong.“I just wanted to talk about this thing of me shushing people at my shows”, she says in a video shared with Instagram fan account @lordecontent. “That was something that I did on that one song a couple times when I wanted to sing it a capella – or off the microphone – so people could hear me and because I wanted to try something different”.“If you come to my shows”, she adds, “you know it’s an hour-and-a-half of all of us singing and screaming together.
