Lorde in radio spat
Singer Lorde became embroiled in a spat with an Australian radio host on air after he asked her about her friendship with fellow pop star Taylor Swift.
The Royals hitmaker appeared on KIIS 1065's The Kyle & Jackie O Show and the brief interview turned awkward when host Kyle Sandilands probed the singer about her new-found friendship with Swift.
Sandilands appeared to offend the star when he said, "I see you
guys' pictures everywhere. Are you guys like... together now?...
Not together as in lesbians. I'm not talking about Ellen
(DeGeneres) together'. I'm talking about, like, you guys are
friendly right?"
The DJ's comments prompted a ferocious response from the teenager,
who hit back saying, "What do you mean you're not talking about
'Ellen together'? Is there something wrong with lesbians? Is that
what you're trying to say?... Don't even try it. It's not
working."
When Lorde failed to respond to his subsequent comments, Sandilands
sarcastically retorted, "Don't get too overboard with explaining
the friendship, though. We haven't got all day," prompted the
teenager to add, "I won't, believe me."
