      Lorde seemed genuinely stunned to have Ardern on stage with her.

      "Oh man, Jacinda Ardern is up here guys."

      She pulled Ardern towards her in a one armed embrace, saying "come over here".

      "I can't believe you're at the New Zealand Music Awards, this is like a big deal for music."

      Ardern returned the sentiment.

      "Presenting to you is a big deal - mutual fan girl."

      Lorde thanked her and said "it means so much" before leaving the stage with her haul.

      Ardern jumped on Instagram to document the night, posting a picture of musician Teeks, who took out Best Māori Artist.
