Lorde performed 'Yellow Flicker Beat' on Jimmy Fallon last night (25 November), and also explained why she pretended to be Taylor Swift's manager at the Grammies. Watch her performance below.

The singer recently curated the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One soundtrack, and sung on four tracks, including the film's closing credit song, 'Yellow Flicker Beat'. She played the song on the US talk show, following its live premiere at the AMAs earlier this week.

The singer also discussed pretending to be Taylor Swift's manager for the night at the Grammies. "It was one of my first [awards shows], so I found her and kind of clung to her, and there was this guy and he wanted her to play some event he was having, and he talked to her for about ten minutes, and it got to the end of the conversation, and he said, "So I'll leave my card, is this your manager?' and he points at me, and no beat passed and she's like, 'Yep!'

"And all of a sudden I was Taylor Swift's manager - this tiny, gothy, hunched person. I just had to pretend. And the worst part is I performed that night on that stage about half an hour later."

The soundtrack for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One, curated by Lorde, is out now.
