Making her first appearance on the show with British electronic duo, Lorde sang Magnets, which she sings vocals for on Disclosure's latest record, Caracal.
Almost never breaking eye contact with the camera, her performance went from reasonably subdued at the start of the track to tribe-like head thrashing at the end.
The ethereal beauty showed off her trim pins in a Gothic-glam outfit on stage, with a tuxedo-style studded blazer and sheer black stockings

Her waist was cinched with a statement black leather belt, as she was illuminated in the colours of the French flag, following the terror attacks in Paris at the weekend.
She sported straight locks compared to her wildly brunette mane, and finished off her look with crimson lips and dark pink eye shadow.
Last year, the singer was caught up in another lip-syncing snafu, when she forgot to put the microphone up to her lips after the music cut out during her performance at the Grammy's.
