1. Although she's only 18 years old, superstar Lorde has shown over and over again just how awesomely talented and badass she is.
2. She's the queen of keeping it real, never afraid to embrace her own imperfections and teach us that "flaws are OK".
i find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok :-)
3. On Twitter she's refreshingly honest:
sometimes i use slang in emails and my phone autocorrects the word to the correct spelling so i have to change it back. it's hard being cool
4. And always the first to point out when someone's photoshopped her (seriously people, why would you photoshop our queen?!).
apart from the fact that i'm pretty sure this magazine gave me a new nose (:|), i really like this photo
5. Her style is totally unique; she doesn't dress for anyone but herself. The darker the lips the better. 💄
6. Or she'll just smear that lipstick all over her face, because who gives a fuck?
Lorde sure doesn't.
7. She doesn't care about being all posy on the red carpet; here she's rocking a banging pantsuit while giving an accidental ball gaze hand.
8. You can keep your fancy red carpet updos: If Lorde wants to wear an XL hat, she'll wear a fucking XL hat.
9. And Lorde doesn't just paint her nails black, she'll paint her whole goddamn fingers black too.
10. In fact, she totally owns her style.
people keep asking me what i will be for halloween and my answer is that i am halloween
11. She's everyone's favourite goth girl, cuddling up to reptiles rather than fluffy puppies.
12. Lorde is always there for her fans; she took out a full-page newspaper ad in New Zealand to thank them for their support.
13. Similarly, she's there for her BFFs. When Diplo dissed Taylor Swift on Twitter, Lorde was quick to bite back:
Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty
@diplo should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm
14. She also totally busted this person on Reddit:
15. Because Lorde doesn't have time for stupid people shit.
16. Lorde doesn't give a crap about the fact that people may mock her, she even posted a section from one of the South Park episodes on her own Instagram:
17. And here she is singing along to South Park's "I Am Lorde Ya Ya Ya" song:
18. Lorde is not a manufactured superstar robot; she doesn't mind not having it together all the time:
19. Lorde is always 100% herself.
20. She'd rather fill her Instagram with family photos than snazzy party selfies.
21. Here she is with her mum.
22. She has absolutely no intention of being a "cool" girl; she'll like whatever the hell she wants to like:
23. And here she is fangirling Beyoncé to the MAX.
24. And lastly, whenever Lorde performs she's basically giving us a crash course in giving zero fucks.
Lorde, we love you, don't EVER change.
