Lorde took part in her first-ever Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session yesterday. The hour-long back and forth between Lorde and her fans covered topics including what type of shampoo she uses, her plans for future music videos and her unique dancing style. After combing through endless comments and questions, we came up with a list of the most interesting things we learned from Lorde's AMA. Check it out below:
Q: Do you regret going into the music industry so young?
A: actually, no. i feel like i learnt early on how things worked and that gave me a good understanding of what could be f**ked with/which rules were dumb and shouldn't have to be followed. plus, i can sit down with basically the most intimidating people in the industry and not flinch. and maybe even make them flinch. or cry. heh.
Q: Are you planning on finishing school?
A: not sure yet! obviously it's hard at the moment, although i do read theses/academic writing from teachers regularly. i read this cool thing jennifer lawrence said the other day about learning about the world through books vs. her real world experience, and i'm definitely feelin that right now. but maybe that's just a lazy person's excuse.
Q: Are you confident in your stage performance? I know people have criticized the way you perform, how do you respond to that?
A: i know when i'm onstage, i don't think about how it looks, i just concentrate on really feeling what i hear. but i totally know i look like gollum when i perform, so it's cool.
Q: My roommate and I have noticed that you talk about teeth a lot on your album. Why is that?
A: just a weird obsession that has been with me always. ironically, i hate dentists...what can i say? the whole experience hit a nerve.
Q: What is your favorite(s) book and movie?
A: favourite book is a tie between: what we talk about when we talk about love - raymond carver the night in question - tobias wolff everything ravaged, everything burned - wells tower battleborn - claire vaye watkins
and favourite film is probably a tie between take shelter fight club willy wonka and the chocolate factory (1971 version)
Q: What songs off the album do you really wanna do a video for?
A: can't decide between ribs, 400 lux and buzzcut. feel free to decide for me, reddit
Q: Have you ever met Ezra Koenig?
A: yep, he used the word 'schwag' without blinking and i taught him the meaning of the word rude as in those are some rude-ass pajamas you wore onstage tonight, man
Q: What shampoo do you use?
A: my mum buys it in 2-litre bottles from the supermarket i don't even know
Q: Have you seen the cover of Royals by Puddles the Clown? It's brilliant!
A: it's my FAVOURITE
