“She should be in the studio” – Fans poke fun as Lorde surprises Paul Mescal fans outside his play

Lorde just gave Paul Mescal fans a surprise of a lifetime and the internet is having a blast with it. Imagine waiting outside a theater, hoping for a glimpse of your favorite Irish heartthrob, only to turn around and see the "Solar Power" singer casually strolling past. That’s exactly what happened, and fans wasted no time turning the moment into pure comedy gold.

The unexpected sighting quickly made its way online, sparking a frenzy of reactions. While some were simply starstruck, others had only one thing on their minds: why is Lorde out and about when she should be locked in a studio working on new music?

Lorde’s Surprise Appearance Outside Paul Mescal’s Play

It all started when fans gathered outside a theater where Paul Mescal was performing, eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the "Normal People" star. Just as they were basking in the excitement of the moment, in walked Lorde unexpectedly, unannounced, and, based on her reaction, possibly regretting her life choices.

The moment was caught on camera and quickly made its way to social media, where people immediately began dissecting every second of her reaction. She seemed slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, and then continued walking as if nothing had happened. But, of course, the internet saw this as prime meme material.

Social media had a field day with the surprise sighting, and the jokes practically wrote themselves. Fans couldn’t resist pointing out the obvious: Lorde should be in the studio working on new music instead of making accidental cameos in Paul Mescal’s fan meet-ups.

A user hilariously pointed out:

“She needs to be in the studio”

If Lorde had a dollar for every time someone told her to drop new music, she’d probably be richer than Taylor Swift by now. But alas, here she was, unintentionally gatecrashing a Paul Mescal moment.

Another user turned her reaction into poetry:

“She had a green light, she took it.”

Given that "Green Light" is one of Lorde’s biggest hits, this was a 10/10 reference. She truly did keep it moving like she was in a music video.

Then there was the instant classic from @horejsiii

“She pulled a Houdini on them.”

One second she was there, the next, she was gone. A true disappearing act worthy of applause.

Meanwhile, @VaelUmbra noticed the brief moment of hesitation:

“Lol they scared her a lil bit.”

To be fair, if a group of people suddenly turned towards you with their phone cameras ready, you’d probably need a moment to process it too.

One user summed up her reaction perfectly:

“She just shocked for a while then took a step forward.”

If there were ever an Olympic sport for keeping your cool after an awkward public moment, Lorde would be bringing home the gold.

In true internet fashion, what was probably a five-second encounter turned into a meme-worthy event. Lorde, known for her low-key nature, might not have been expecting to trend for simply existing near a Paul Mescal crowd, but here we are.

As for whether she actually took this as a sign to get back to the studio? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the internet never misses an opportunity to remind her.
