Lorde Talks Relationships: Who Does She Call For Love Advice?

“Royals” singer Lorde might be best friends with Taylor Swift and hang out with other well-known singers such as Beyoncé, but when it comes to relationship issues, Lorde would rather talk to her parents.

During an interview with Sunrise, Lorde said her parents are her mentors because they are “so inspiring in different ways.”

As far as her A-list celebrity friends and acquaintances are concerned, Lorde said she doesn’t “think too hard” about their relationships because she will “just go insane.”

Lorde added that being with her idols is like being in “Wonderland,” but she admitted that she doesn’t really “hang out with these people at all.” “I mean you make friends in different places but for the most part I’m not, like, calling up my idols for advice necessarily,” she explained.

Earlier, Lorde talked about the pitfalls of fame. When her single “Royals” became a success, she said that it came with a cost because people made fun of her and her body. “It rocked my foundations and could have [messed me up], you know? I remember being made aware of my looks and my body in a way that I had never been,” she told NME.

Lorde added that she was no stranger to criticism, but fame took things to a whole different level. “I remember all these kids online, I think I beat their favorite people to number one [on the music charts], and they were like, ‘[Expletive] her, she’s got really far-apart eyes.’ I remember being like, ‘Whoa! How did I get all this way without knowing I had far-apart eyes?’ Just weird [things] like that,” she said.

Lorde was only 16 years old at the time when the album “Pure Heroine” came out, so she didn’t know how to handle the negative attention. But now that she has released her second album, “Melodrama,” the singer said she is better equipped to handle public scrutiny, whether it be good or bad.
