When I was trying to come up with a stage name, I thought 'Lord' was super rad, but really masculine - ever since I was a little kid, I have been really into royals and aristocracy. So to make Lord more feminine, I just put an 'e' on the end! Some people think it's religious, but it's not. Lorde aristocracyendfeminine share on social
I try to stay away from talking about boys all the time. You can go to Taylor Swift to hear that. Lorde boyhearstay Change image and share on social
If I'm going to dress up, I like things that are quite long and classic. I like feeling dressed up and like a lady. Lorde classicdressfelt Change image and share on social
I'm really interested in kind of weird social situations and cliques, watching girls vying for attention, watching how the popularity thing happens. I've always thought too hard about everything. Lorde attentioncliquegirl Change image and share on social
Musicians like James Blake were a big influence on me. How he uses his vocals is amazing. And then Yeasayer and Animal Collective, who aren't pop bands exactly, but they do something that is so catchy and undeniable and so much fun. Lorde amazeanimalband share on social
I've always been fascinated with aristocracy. I'm really interested in the Ivy Leagues, the final clubs, all the really old-money families, the concept of old money. Lorde aristocracyclubconcept Change image and share on social
In a perfect world, I would never do any interviews, and probably there would be one photo out there of me, and that would be it. Lorde interviewperfectphoto Change image and share on social
Obviously I've had this fascination with aristocracy my whole life. Like, the kings and queens of 500 years ago... they're like rock stars. If there was a 'TMZ' 500 years ago, it would be about, like, Henry VIII and Marie Antoinette and all those people. Lorde agoantoinettearistocracy share on social
