Lorde

What a year for Lorde! Not only did the 17-year-old Australia native burst onto the scene with her smash hit 'Royals' and her debut album, 'Pure Heroine,' but for the first time ever she is also up for a dozen Billboard Music Awards in a whopping 12 out of 40 categories.

Days after sharing an unretouched photo, celebrating her flaws, Lorde covers the May 2014 issue of Fashion, the Canadian mag, looking glam in gold, textured dress with voluminous sleeves. She also showed her humble side, eschewing the notion that she is a musical genius!

Flaws are OK. That is what singer Lorde is preaching on Twitter, but the singer, who we need to remember is just 17, is not paying lip service to the concept. She is not showing -- she is doing. She shared an Photoshopped image and a real one, pointing out the difference.

Lorde's boyfriend, photographer James K. Lowe, is known for being notoriously tight-lipped about his relationship with the 'Royals' singer -- until now.

The 2014 Lollapalooza lineup has been revealed and boy, is it good! Eminem will headline the annual (and formerly traveling) event, set for Aug. 1 through Aug. 3 at Grant Park in Chicago, as will Outkast, Kings of Leon and Skrillex.

Lorde is learning that fame can be a royal(s) pain.

When Lorde called in to Australia's 'Kyle & Jackie O. Show' last week, she did more than just craft the perfect retort to the hosts' implication that she was in a lesbian relationship with Taylor Swift. The 'Royals' phenomenon also revealed why she turned down the opportunity to open for Katy Perry on the 'Dark Horse' singer's upcoming tour.

Lorde and MAC Cosmetics are on each other's team!

Maybe Australian radio host Kyle Sadilands has taken Lorde's lyrics "we're on each other's team" a bit too literally. When the 'Royals' singer called into the 'Kyle and Jackie O.' radio show, he asked her about her relationship with Taylor Swift and implied that the two were dating.

At a tour stop in Auckland, New Zealand, Bruce Springsteen broke out a performance of Lorde's song Royals. The Boss was at at Mt. Smart Stadium in Auckland. Lorde grew up in the Auckland suburb of Davenport, New Zealand.
