Lorde

Singer-songwriter

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, known by her stage name Lorde, is a New Zealand singer-songwriter

"Royals"

[Verse 1]
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood,
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

[Verse 2]
My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come from money.

But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom.
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

Ooh ooh oh
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I'm in love with being queen.
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair.

And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.

'I want to be independent': Lorde reveals why she rejected Katy Perry's invitation to support her on Prismatic world tour.

Opening for Katy Perry on her world tour would be a dream come true for many artists but not Lorde.

The precocious 17-year-old singer – who shot to fame with her Grammy Award winning hit Royals last year – turned down an invitation to support Katy on her Prismatic world tour in order to headline her own smaller shows. 

She told Australia's KIIS 106.5:  'I'm just basically really stubborn and I want to be really independent.

'So I want to be headlining my own shows instead of supporting someone else. Which I think is fair enough.'

Lorde added that she wants to establish herself as an artist before supporting anyone else. 

She said: 'In the really early stages of an artist's career, it's important for them to establish themselves for themselves.'

Lorde insisted her rejection wasn’t anything to do with Katy or her music but merely wanted to be independent. 

It was recently revealed that her debut album Pure Heroine has sold over one million copies, making it the first debut by a female singer since Adele's 19 to reach the milestone.

It's been quite the year for the teenage singer, with Lorde picking up two Grammys and the BRIT Award for Best International Female Solo Artist since shooting to fame. 

Bruce Springsteen recently covered royals during a concert in New Zealand and Lorde admitted it made her cry. 

She said: 'My Twitter went mental. Everyone in New Zealand was like 'You can't believe what just happened!' It was so exciting. It was the highest honour. He's such an incredible songwriter. I got a little teary. It was very cool. '

Meanwhile, it didn't take Katy long to find replacements with Icona Pop and Kacey Musgraves set to join her on the road.
