The sisters became competitive as the song wore on, with Lorde making sure to steal audience’s attention by dancing wildly in the background.
Singing into pepper grinder, Indy became flustered by her sister’s performance and started swatting her away from the camera with her spare hand.
Sonja dedicated the post to Indy, who celebrated her 19th birthday this week, while thanking daughter Jerry for keeping the video over the years.
