Pop singer Selena Gomez opened her Stars Dance tour on Wednesday night in Vancouver, Canada. Among her hit singles, Gomez also performed a cover of New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde's "Royals."
During the Stars Dance tour, Gomez sang her current hits "Come & Get It" and "Slow Down," but she surprised concert goers with a cool cover. Gomez added Lorde's "Royals" to her setlist.
Backed by some sparse instrumentation, Gomez sang "Royals" in an acoustic fashion. Her voice, which is usually buried in busy beats, was highlighted in all the right ways on the cover. That undoubtedly exposed Lorde's "Royals" to a larger audience.
The Stars Dance tour is supporting Gomez's album of the same name, which hit no. 1 on Billboard. Lorde is also dominating the Billboard charts with "Royals." The chilled-out track is becoming a big hit in the U.S.
