Lorde told fans at the Mad Cool Festival in Madrid on July 10 not to purchase Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. “You don’t know if someone is wearing sunglasses or if they’re wearing those fucked up fucking… Can I just say, for the record, fuck the glasses. Don’t get the glasses.
Not sexy,” she said. The singer first thanked the crowd for taking part in “something real” and stated that it was increasingly hard to know what is and is not real. Videos of the remarks circulated on social media after the set.
Ray-Ban sponsored the festival and has collaborated with Meta on the AI smart glasses. Meta is planning a pair of “super sensing” glasses that are continuously recording. Jennie of Blackpink, a Ray-Ban Meta AI ambassador who has appeared in the brand’s Instagram campaigns, performed after Lorde.
A video featuring Jennie was screened between sets.
