AceShowbiz - Lorde, Chvrches' Lauren Mayberry and Carly Rae Jepsen were among the performers at the Ally Coalition's 3rd Annual Talent Show at Webster Hall in New York City on Monday, December 12. The show was put on by Bleachers' Jack Antonoff to support homeless LGBTQ youth.
During the Monday show, Lorde surprised audience with a rendition of Robyn's "Hang With Me" alongside Jack. Donning a red sweatshirt, she sat next to Jack on a piano bench. She sang, "All heartbreak, blissfully painful and insanity/ If we agree you can hang with me," before Jack continued singing, "When you see me drift astray/ Out of touch and out of place."
Meanwhile, Carly took the stage to perform a stripped down version of "Run Away With Me" off her latest album "E.MO.TION". She also teamed up with Jack for a low-key version of "Shadow".

The benefit show raised more than $100,000 which would be put towards combating LGBTQ inequality in the U.S.
