Lorde confirms in NZ’s Metro Magazine that the tattoo on her hand is of a scratch her dog Pearl gave her
"When my puppy was a baby, he jumped up and scratched me and I had a scar right there. The scar was starting to fade in the middle so I just wanted to connect it"
🚨📢 A new email from Lorde!!!
“So if you can, I’d like for you to try tuning in to the time spent waiting for something of the highest quality to arrive. Enjoy the sensation as it builds. When the moment comes, our wave will crest super fucking high”

"I have zero anxiety about it… the ways in which I’m making less money… I have more money than I could ever spend in my life. I own a home. I own some lovely rugs and great furniture and can buy whatever I want at the grocery store. Like, we’re good on money" –

New EMAIL from Lorde! Subject line: 🌳🏠🏠🏠🏠🚶🏻♀️🌳🌞
“I’m sending this bulletin to Kiwis only — if you’re reading this, I guess you’re in lockdown right now…”
“I have no answer as to why I took this many walking selfies”
A close-up of Lorde’s Instagram caption today, so it’s easier to see all the emojis. Nice that she's acknowledging L4!
Does anyone have any Swiftie-like thoughts on the rest?
🚨 New Lorde EMAIL!
“This song is me in communication with another version of me, trying to send along the wisdom I’ve started to gather along the way… It inspired me to identify 3 distinct parts of myself, & imagine what would happen if these parts were able to meet"
New insight from Sam McKinniss on the Alternative Melodrama cover painting:
"I wanted the paint handling to recall Post-Impressionist style… I had 2 prior paintings in mind as inspiration…Wadsworth’s van Gogh self-portrait & Toulouse-Lautrec’s 'Le Lit' (1893) at Musée D’Orsay"
"The importance of women supporting women is huge. It’s women supporting black women. It’s women supporting trans women. It’s women supporting women that come from a different economic background" – Lorde [Variety]
No I don’t know what’s going on either. But I am strangely comforted by the fact that after 10+ years she still occasionally gives us something related to teeth
