The Royals singer walked away with six New Zealand Music Awards last night, following a star-studded ceremony at Auckland's Vector Arena.
She picked up Tuis for Album of the Year, Single of the Year (she won it last year for Royals and this year for Team), Best Female Solo Artist, Best Pop Album, Highest Selling Single (for Royals) and the International Achievement Award.
That's on top of last year's haul of four New Zealand Music Awards, which came before her debut album Pure Heroine was eligible to be nominated.
The recently turned 18-year-old was able to celebrate with the adults this year and seemed truly proud of the awards despite already having won more than 20 others in the past year, including an APRA Silver Scroll, The Taite Music Prize, two Grammys, a Brit Award and an MTV Video Music Award.
Lorde received a standing ovation after winning International Achievement for the second year running.
"I feel like I'm going to cry ... Holy crap, thank you," she said.
"It seems crazy to think it's been only a year since I was sat right there, opening the music awards."
South Auckland's David Dallas came away with two Tuis for Best Male Solo Artist and Best Urban/Hip Hop Album for his third solo album Falling Into Place.
His performance of stirring hit single Runnin', which opened the event, was also a highlight.
Stan Walker, who is currently working on upcoming international hip-hop film Born To Dance and will return to our small screens next year as an X-Factor NZ judge, also claimed two Tuis, taking home the Radio Airplay award for Bulletproof and the Vodafone People's Choice award.
Popular Nelson siblings Broods took home their first Tui for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, while award veterans The Naked and Famous took away the prize for Best Group. Director Campbell Hooper also earned a Tui for Best Music Video for the Broods song Hearts Like Ours.
Best Rock Album went to Blacklistt (which includes former members of Blindspott), while the Tui for Best Alternative Album went to Tiny Ruins, earning her first award for her second folk-inspired album Brightly Painted One, and enchanting the crowd with a performance of Me At The Museum, You In The Wintergardens.
Family opera trio Sol3 Mio added to their Tui collection, pipping Lorde to the post for Highest Selling Album with their self-titled debut, while Tama Waipara collected the Tui for Best Roots Album for Fill Up The Silence.
The night came to a close with a tribute to New Zealand Herald Legacy Award winners Supergroove, with an all-girl line-up of Hollie Smith, Ria Hall, Iva Lamkum, and MC Tali for a storming version of number one single Can't Get Enough.
