It was a night some three years in the making. Ever since Pitchfork first laid ears upon the sublime, self-titled pop cocktail of hooks, charm, and attitude that is Robyn, we've been thinking of nothing but that special Swedish lady. And mere hours ago, at long last, she was here.

Last night's performance at New York City's Highline Ballroom marked Robyn's first Stateside live appearance in who knows how long, and hopefully the first of many more. At the very least, it will be the first of a few: Robyn heads to San Francisco tomorrow night, graces the Los Angeles area with her infectious stylings this coming weekend, and hits Austin in March for some kind of festive happening.

U.S. audiences will finally finally finally get to scoop up a non-import copy of Robyn later this year, while we can content ourselves until then with the American edition of The Rakamonie EP that dropped last month. Both come our way courtesy of Konichiwa/Cherrytree/Interscope.

Scope more photos below, and catch some video action and some words on the show from Pitchfork's Marc Hogan over in Forkcast.
