One of the biggest teen stars in the world, Lorde is about as recognizable as any major musician worldwide. At 18, however, she is barely out of high school and still in the prime of her youth. With that youth comes some odd tendencies that one might expect from a teenager regardless of whether or not they are in the spotlight 24/7. In an interview with Stella — the British newspaper The Telegraph's weekly edition — the "Royals" star reveals that she likes to go sifting through other people's trash for useful items.
The interview also goes on to discuss Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and her first time in contact with Jennifer Lawrence, who on the set "totally fanned out" when she saw Lorde.
She also discusses how she handles her image as a teenage girl pop star and why she eschews the red carpet, but the most interesting caveat is how she takes part in a New Zealand recycling/reuse initiative where each year everyone clears out old junk they are no longer using, like cabinets, cloths, TVs, etc., and puts them out on the street for others to take.
It is then shipped off to a landfill, but before that people go through other people's trash and potentially find their own treasures. One of those individuals trawling the trash is Lorde.
Lorde describes her passion for going out on the hunt:
"See, I'm boring because my favorite thing to do is trawl the inorganics. Do you have inorganics here?"
But Lorde justifies that passion because she has apparently found some pretty incredible things in her digging.
"It stays on the street for a few days and then it's collected and put into a landfill somewhere. But people drive around and go through other people's household rubbish. And, honestly, I've gotten amazing furniture, shoes, hats, jackets," she said.
Unsurprisingly, she gets noticed every single time.
"I did this three weeks ago! Recognized every single time. So embarrassing!" she said.
