Pop sensation Lorde looked almost unrecognizable after undergoing a dramatic hair transformation.
Although she’s known for her signature dark, wavy locks, an eagle-eyed fan managed to spot the 26-year-old tennis hitmaker with her new bright blonde locks as she rode the subway earlier this week.
For her laid-back outing, the two-time Grammy winner (Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor) tried to go incognito while wearing a green graphic T-shirt tucked under her white pants and a surgical mask under her chin.
She styled her wavy locks into two braids and wore white headphones as she used the Big Apple’s famous public transportation to get around.

After a fan asked for a selfie with her, Lorde graciously agreed.
Later, the fan, who goes by the Twitter handle @snarkilytm, uploaded the photo of them together and another of the musician from the side.
Last month, the Kiwi singer shared a disturbing open letter with her fans, revealing she was suffering from a personal ‘heartbreak’.
The artist shared a newsletter titled “How I’ve Been, Revised” with subscribers, which referenced relationship issues with her long-term boyfriend Justin Warren.
‘I’m different, but the same. I’m in pain all the time, I forget why and then I remember. “I’m not trying to hide the pain, I understand that pain is not something to hide,” she began.
The New Zealander continued: ‘It’s actually quite nice to move along with it. But sometimes I get tired of being with myself.”
Lorde then said she wished she could turn back the clock and that she had stopped taking her medications.
‘I’m sitting in the time machine waiting for it to move, but it hasn’t been invented yet. I stopped taking the little yellow pill that I’ve been taking every morning for thousands of mornings since I was fifteen, five days ago. I’ll see how it goes.’
Although her disturbing letter did not explicitly mention relationship issues with her music director boyfriend Justin Warren, fans were quick to speculate that this is what she was referring to.

Known for being notoriously private, Lorde has only posted two posts on Instagram since joining the website two years ago.
In October 2021, Lorde, born Ella Yelich-O’Connor, sparked rumors that she was engaged to her boyfriend Justin Warren when she attended a red carpet event wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger.
The pop star showed off a stunning diamond sparkler at Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles.
Lorde and Justin were first photographed together on the beach in 2016, but at the time Justin dismissed rumors that they were dating.

But in the years since, they’ve traveled the world together and Justin was even spotted near the singer’s $2.8 million mansion.
Lorde, who is known for her friendship with Taylor Swift, split from her ex-boyfriend James Lowe at the end of 2015.
She told Stellar magazine in June 2017 that the breakup took her to some “crazy places” and she resorted to “self-medicating” to deal with her emotions.
