On Instagram stories, Lorde posted a series of pictures of the two concerts, and sounded off. The New Zealand singer noticed that West’s stage setup, involving a suspended glass box, bore an uncanny resemblance to similar staging she had employed during her set at Coachella in 2017, and then later on her Melodrama tour. While West kept his political thoughts to himself during his joint performance with Kid Cudi as their duo, Kids See Ghosts, at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, it was his stage design that drew the ire of another musical superstar, Lorde. Kanye West returned to a festival stage over the weekend in a performance that Entertainment Weekly called “controversy free.” Of course, this being Kanye and all, one should never be too quick to count out the possibility of controversy completely.
