Lorde shocked concertgoers in Australia recently by belting out Whitney Houston's 1987 hit, 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody'.
The 21-year-old, who covered other big names during the Australian leg of her tour last week, belted out the tune after congratulating the Aussies on the passing of their same-sex marriage bill.
She asked one of the audience members if she could take their rainbow flag, which she draped around her shoulders.

The 'Melodrama' hitmaker then started singing Whitney's Grammy Award-winning song to loud cheers.
Lorde also covered Hunters & Collectors' 1984 single, 'Throw Your Arms Around Me', during the show.
She also sang the chorus of Powderfinger's 'My Happiness'.
