Her story is interesting. It's just some (now) 16 year old ingénue that wrote a song and it became the hit beat of the world. Her year was 2013, where she was first heard and exploded to view in the eye of the masses, garnering on air repeats reserved for pop stars. And thus, she became one too.
Usually, when you look at celebrities and stars, you become attracted to them you'd admire their talents and looks. But what I think is the most attractive aspect of a person is their personality. At first, I forget them. All I'd remember the way they acted or their voices or their clothes. Only later when I read or watch their interviews and have a glimpse of their projected personalities, one they call themselves, I'd fall in love with them.
There is a common theme amongst the celebrities I like. More often than not, they're mindbogglingly attractive on the outside. They are also very private. There wouldn't be too much racy gossip about them. When they do share, they're witty, deep, introspective, learned. They're thought about things a lot - especially what they're doing, their art, and views on life. They've got a certain integrity when it comes to what they do. And they live by it. It didn't have to be art but it is where they are. And not to mention the fact that they're living their dreams.
People like in others traits they admire or wish for themselves. I guess it's a testament to who I want to be. And I found it in Lorde.
It really didn't occur to me the first time around that her contemporaries are like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. But when I read more stuff, it hit me. Oh yeah. And her hit song as well, Royals, was about rejecting that lifestyle. It told of how in reality, things are very boring. And right now, while I'm procrastinating and waiting, that song is so true.
When she talks about her views and her music, she sounds so normal. As if it all hasn't gotten over her head. She has normal parents that aren't in the music business. She started with writing first. She spent years in school and there wasn't even a hint of fame till recently. She has views on boys and girls and what it means. She has offended popstars. She wants to make a statement and surprise you with her art. My favourite part in the Royals MV is when the camera travels backward though the street in the neighbourhood. Like you're at the back of a car and you're looking out of the rear-view mirror.
