    Griff's no stranger to covering Lorde's music, and during a recent headline show at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire she performed her version of Royals, but with a twist.

    She kicked off the show in style, opening with One Foot In Front Of The Other track Heart Of Gold. However, about halfway through she switches things up, singing the opening verse and chorus of Royals - before then finishing off the mash-up with the end of Heart Of Gold.

    The clip, which was shared by Griff on her YouTube channel, shows off her star power. Listen for the crowd's reaction when they cotton on to what Griff's up to, because it's a special moment.

    It's not the first time Griff's covered a track by Lorde, having recently transformed Solar Power into a huge electro-pop moment as part of her Spotify Singles release. Speaking about Lorde at the time, Griff said, "I chose to cover Lorde because she is such an inspiration – I’m just a day one fan. I’ve been waiting for her to come back for a long time so as soon as I heard Solar Power, and I loved it so much, I knew I wanted to cover it.”
