Lorde Live-Tweets Chicago Bulls Game, And It's Just As Odd As You'd Expect

Surprise! New Zealand pop phenomenon Lorde has apparently never been to an NBA basketball game. Until Monday night.

In Chicago in the midst of her sold-out North American tour, the 17-year-old turned up in the audience at the United Center as the Bulls took on the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 17.

What'd she think of the action? A mix of intrigue, pride and a little confusion, it would appear.

i am such an outsider to the world of sport but i feel very proud of all playing

Lorde also seemed pretty fascinated with the Luvabulls' performance and other half-time entertainment.

in the break they rolled out a red carpet on the court and a man did some tricks with his dog

And then there was the kiss-cam!

they just filmed me (surprise) and my keyboardist spontaneously kissed my drummer while the cameras were on us (surprise x2)

Oddly enough, this isn't the first sports-related headline Lorde has made in recent months. As Deadspin noted, she said in a December interview that her hit "Royals" was inspired by an old photo she saw of Kansas City Royals player George Brett signing autographs.
