The 2014 Grammy nominees for Best Pop Solo Performance come from a range of singers. Whether it's a former boy bander-turned-solo-success or a New Zealand newcomer, these artists represent the best pop music has to offer. Sara Bareilles, Lorde, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are all contenders for the honor. Who do you think should win the Grammy?
As if you needed another reason to tune in to the 56th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Jan. 26. Lorde will take the stage, making her Grammy debut, while Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Pink will return to the stage to perform as well.
Lorde is speaking out on other, more seasoned artists yet again. The 17-year-old New Zealand native is now running her heavily lipsticked mouth about Beyonce and Kesha.
Not only does Lorde detest being referred to as a teen hottie, she refuses to accept tons of cash in order to do things that are not natural to her. She is not looking for a paycheck if it means selling her soul.
Lorde recently participated in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit, during which she hilariously admitted to looking weird while she performs.
Or more specifically, like a Hobbit who has been holding onto an evil ring of power for far too long.
Fans who have been dying to catch their favorite chart-topping, Grammy-nominated, year-end-list-owning artist live will finally get their chance in early 2014: Lorde is coming!
Lorde is certainly one of the breakout stars, if not the breakout star, of the year, with her song 'Royals' establishing her as an artist to watch now and for many years to come. She performed the song at the 2014 'The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!' tonight (Dec. 6), and it once again furthered the singer's mystique.
Lorde brought her rigor mortis-esque dance moves and deep vocals to the 2013 ARIA Awards. The 17-year-old New Zealand native performed her second single from 'Pure Heroine,' 'Team.'
I love a cappella performances and I love Lorde's song 'Royals.' Put them together thanks to Florida State University's 'Acabelles' and you have this wonderful video!"
