Even though she looks like an extra in a Tim Burton movie, I really have no shame is saying I love Lorde and everything about her. Her album is fantastic and she just seems like somebody reincarnated into a 17-year chick from New Zealand. And if you disagree with me, well then, you’re just a big meanie pants and we can’t be friends. But more to the point, Lorde and Taylor Swift have been hanging out a lot, so naturally KIIS FM’s “shock jock” Kyle Sandilands asked her if the two were lesbians because apparently he’s in the 5th grade. Lorde was having none of it. Daily Mail reports:
He asked the singer: ‘I see you guys’ pictures everywhere are you guys together now? ‘Not together as in lesbians, I’m not talking about “Ellen together” I’m talking about, like you guys are friendly right?’ Lorde was quick to fire back at Kyle, and retaliated, saying: ‘What do you mean you’re not talking about “Ellen together”, is there something wrong with lesbians?’ Sandilands responded: ‘Oh my god no, I would love that! Are you going to confirm now you’re in a lesbian relationship with her?’ But the Grammy winner wouldn’t take the bait, and refusing to be tricked into starting a rumour, told Kyle: ‘Don’t even try it.’
I mean, I’ve said a lot of dumb shit before, and I’ll probably say a lot more dumb shit before it’s all over with, but I don’t think I’ve ever went up to a 17-year old girl and subtly suggested that she and her friend were scissoring each other. I’d say it to her 22-year old sister maybe. But never the 17-year old.
