The "Team" singer (nee Ella Yelich-'Connor ) nabbed four Grammy nominations, including record, song and pop solo of the year (for "Royals") and best pop vocal album (for Pure Heroine ). Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Singer Lorde took home Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for 'Royals' at the 56th Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Did you ever imagine you would have a hard time holding people's attention? I mean, you aren't exactly an average pop star, and that burst in popularity in the last year must have freaked you out some. Of course, it also proves that your appeal isn't only to outsiders, but to all kinds of people. Pure Heroine has seen great success since September, and you sold out the soon-to-be-shuttered Roseland Ballroom three nights in a row. (How cool is that?) Celebrities seek attention and media coverage every time they do something great, why would the camera stop rolling when they do something not so great?
Contrary to whatever Lorde may think, for Complex to give a cover to an artist like Iggy Azalea or current covergirl Jhené Aiko (or even Lorde for that matter) it simply boils down to Complex thinking the artist is someone our audience is interested in. Giving someone a bad review basically boils down to thinking someone our audience is interested in didn’t make a very good record. We can’t speak for all publications, but we imagine it works about the same way for them. a b "NZ Music Sensation, Lorde, Releases First Music Video For "Royals " " The Diplomat 15 May 2013 Retrieved 12 August 2013

Yes, Lorde is only sixteen, but this is no viral video she put out outta her basement on her own; mad people signed off on this. Record execs have been working with her since she was 12; several, no, many people listened to this track, and saw no problem with it at all. I’m thinking of fierce youth activists who get it, are doing the work, and from whom Lorde could learn quite a bit. She apparently calls herself a feminist – let’s just hope her feminism gets a lot less racist as she develops as an artist.
