The footage surfaced a mere two days after Lorde had popped into her old drama school to watch their new production of the same play. Afterwards she even posed for a photo with the current wand holder.

Devonport Drama owner Geoff Allen shared the photo on Facebook, writing "Surprise audience at Devonport Drama's Fairytale The Musical yesterday. Lorde played the same role as Lucy in first production 10 years ago (and she even baked me shortbread.) "

Sadly, Allen did not post a photo of Lorde's baking.
