Performing live for the first time on American television, Lorde performed her popular hit "Yellow Flicker Beat" at the American Music Awards.

The singer rocked out to the song as she started off in a big red box that opened up in front of the audience. She made her way to the front of the stage as she let out some more hard-core moves where a group of people stood by as they barely moved a muscle.

Lorde's friend Taylor Swift can be seen in the audience singing along to the lyrics where she was also spotted showing some emotion as the song ended.
