      I guess there’s probably different milestones in a singers career where they’re like ‘shit I’ve made it’ - obviously getting a number 1 or selling a tour out etc. But when you go somewhere really far from home, and see how your success has permeated different countries and cultures - it must be hard not to proud of how far your success has reached. Especially for a 17 year old to go half way around the world and be so graciously welcomed with her own song. My heart. 🥰

    I'm not maori nor kiwi, and not a fan of Billie,
    however I can feel the emotion that created that special connection moment.
    I have heard several maori chants and they are amazingly warm, I visited Tahiti (French Polynesia) for the Heiva that happen to be a competition, there is a part of the competition in which the several locations of the island sing a "chant" and many of them are extremely beautiful and touchy!
    The energy maoris put in is real and authentic, they kinda owned the spirit of the melody to make an special welcome, I think that's why it touched Billie deep, it would be nice to receive that kind of reception.

      If it only happens to famous people, I doubt it's sincere.
      This kinda thing should only be done by people relevant to the welcomed person, not by a group of actors.
      It just means more when you know the people.
      Like when I visit my Marae with my family, we are welcomed onto the Marae with a traditional powhiri, usually done for important occasions like funerals and homecomings of hero's etc.
      This doesn't seem as sincere to me, just paid up and fame farming.
