Fashion cover
Lorde appears on the cover of the May 2014 issue of Fashion magazine. She talks about kids today, industry stereotypes, and accomplishing things early.
I’m drawn to women who aren’t painted in history as sweet figures. Patti Smith was prickly. She was frustrated. She didn’t take people’s sh*t. There’s no better music idol for young women, because there is a lot of pressure for us to be really positive all the time. Every photo shoot I do, I get asked for big smiles, and I shouldn’t have to be that way.

Mockingjay soundtrack
Lorde is curating the entire soundtrack for the third installment of The Hunger Games movie series, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. Lorde has been featured on previous soundtracks for The Hunger Games and will also feature a single from herself for the upcoming film.
…to be at the helm of a project like this is easily the most responsibility i’ve ever had, and to me, that says something kind of amazing about the way the world is changing – a globally successful film franchise is allowing a teenager to run their shit. we are opening doors, we are moving walls. this makes me so insanely happy.

People have told me that I’ve helped them feel confident, like they can say things they want to say. They can talk about feminism in class without people calling them a lesbian. That’s so amazing that I can make someone feel like that.
Elle cover
Lorde appears on the cover of the October 2014 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about standing up for herself, expressing her opinions, and figuring out how to be a famous teen.
It’s very specific. I have definitely learned how to be flexible. Before, I would just be like, ‘F*ck it.’ I have such a strong idea of what is cool and great for me. If I think something is sh*t, I express that. But now the circle of people I work with all the time is huge and spans continents, and you have to be quite conscientious. So it’s, like, learning not to hurt people’s feelings. Obviously, I am hanging out with more people now who are not teenage; I’m in different circles. But I am a teenager. My brain is, like, a certain age. Everyone is talking about you. You have to learn not to care as much.

Details fight with sister
Lorde tells an awards ceremony in Auckland, New Zealand, how a vicious fight with her sister in a Las Vegas hotel room left her with a scar down her left arm.
Because I”m not old enough to go out and rave I’m just in my hotel room in Vegas. Me and my older sister were there and we were really tired and really sick, and we had a fight.
