Lorde has picked up three early gongs, at the Vodafone Music Awards at Spark Arena, this evening.
The 21-year-old clinched awards for the best solo artist and soon after for Best Pop Artist, then Best International Artist.
In total, the North Shore singer is up for six awards, also in the running for best single - 'Green Light' - and best Album, for 'Meldodrama'.
Speaking to those gathered she said she'd been delighted at how her second album had been received.
Earlier, the winner of Highest Selling NZ Album was the Koi Boys, for their debut album Meant to Be.
The show was kicked off by the Disney smash hit 'We Know the Way', from Moana, performed superbly by more than 30 Pacific singers and dancers.
