“Taylor was very kind and not wrong”: Lorde shares text she received from Taylor Swift when she released ‘Melodrama’ about first week sales not defining the legacy of an album

Lorde shares text she received from Taylor Swift when she released ‘Melodrama’ about first week sales not defining the legacy of an album:

“Taylor was very kind and not wrong”.

The pair became friends after Taylor sent Lorde roses to congratulate her when her hit single Royals topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart

The kind gesture came as a surprise to the 17-year-old singer who was “floored” especially since it came after she’d insulted the blonde beauty.

She previously said: “Taylor Swift is so flawless and so unattainable, and I don’t think it’s breeding anything good in young girls.”

However, when the ‘Red’ star heard what the New Zealander had said, she took it in her stride and was flattered about the backhanded compliment.

Lorde has revealed she and Taylor Swift have become great friends and are in regular contact with each other.

The ‘Royals’ singer, who has been outspoken about the ’22’ star in the past, says she is now close with Taylor and often texts her about everything from present ideas to decorating advice.

“Taylor’s super-good at this stuff,” Lorde reveals in the new issue of Rolling Stone. “She’s decorated her own house for ages.”

Lorde also said she was “floored” after Taylor sent her a bunch of flowers to celebrate her success with ‘Royals’ last year.
