A famously reclusive singer was spotted at Sydney Airport on Friday, cutting a low-key figure as she strolled through the terminal with her lookalike brother.
Covering her face with a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses, the songstress, 29, did her best to avoid attention as she made her way towards the departure gates.
She covered up in a green jacket, white T-shirt and baggy jeans, accessorising with a silver necklace and matching earrings.
So... can you guess who it is?
That's right, it's Lorde.
The Kiwi music star, real name Ella Yelich-O'Connor, was joined by her younger brother Angelo, both flanked by security and the star's entourage.

Lorde is on the Australian leg of her Ultrasound World Tour, having kicked off her campaign in Brisbane on February 16 before heading to Sydney to perform two shows.
She then jetted to Melbourne for another two shows before heading to Perth ahead of her upcoming final Australian performance on Wednesday night.
On Monday, however, the songstress delivered a concerning health update from her hotel bed, informing fans that she was feeling under the weather.
'I'm a little sick in bed, but I just wanted to say how insane these shows have been the last two nights in Melbourne,' she told fans.
'I was like, it's just crazy. I don't have the language to describe what it's like being part of this with you, and so sometimes I don't talk about it, but just know like that I'm having the greatest time ever, and I'm so grateful to you all for just showing up.'
Lorde went on to admit she's become used to feeling unwell while on tour, explaining: 'During Ultrasound I get sick every two weeks... I think it's because of the 'David walk'.'
The 'David walk' refers to Lorde's usual walk through the audience while performing her song David.
'Do I have regrets? No I do not,' she added.

Lorde made her musical comeback last year, sending fans into a frenzy back in April when she released her first new music in four years.
She released a snippet of the song What It Is, which appeared to be reflecting on the break down of the tumultuous relationship that began in her teenage years.
The following month she announced the title of her fourth studio album - Virgin - while debuting the shocking album artwork - an X-ray of what appeared to be her pelvic area, with her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper visible.
It was one particular detail in the X-ray that got fans talking - a T-shaped object that appeared to be an IUD (intrauterine device), a type of birth control that is placed in the uterus.
In another twist, she then released a more explicit cover for the vinyl, featuring what appeared to be her genitals beneath a pair of see-through plastic pants.
Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover.
However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl's artwork and others described it as 'beautiful' and far from being shocking.
After seemingly exposing herself in the artwork, Lorde explained that she had once struggled so badly with her body image that all she thought about was 'weighing as little as possible'.
