At Mad Cool Festival, Lorde interrupted her set to slam Ray‑Ban’s Meta AI smart glasses, telling fans “don’t get the glasses, not sexy.” Her remark targeted the $299 gadget promoted across the venue, which features voice assistants, audio playback, and discreet cameras. The jab resonated amid privacy concerns, contrasting sharply with Blackpink’s Jennie — a brand ambassador performing after her. While EssilorLuxottica reported 7 million units sold in 2025, Lorde’s critique highlighted cultural pushback against surveillance‑laden fashion tech. The moment underscored tension between booming sales and celebrity skepticism, making her honesty as impactful as her performance.
