Lorde

Before she was topping the charts and putting her foot in her mouth about artists like David Guetta, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, Lorde was a pretty 12-year-old fronting a band called Extreme. (We'll forgive her for not knowing that was a metal band first since she wasn't even born back then!) And she looked exactly the same!

Oh Lord, Lorde. When will you learn to not diss those more famous and longstanding than you are? The 17-year-old New Zealand native called David Guetta "gross" in front of press when her management team asked her if she'd like to work with him ... and he fired back beautifully.

Lorde's 'Royals' is undoubtedly one of the signature songs of 2013, which means plenty of other artists have taken liberties with it. tyDi has offered up one of the better interpretations of the track.

How's this for an amazing celebrity sighting: Taylor Swift and Lorde lunching together in New York City!

The second we heard that Lorde was covering a mid-'80s Tears for Fears classic on the new 'Hunger Games' movie soundtrack, we couldn't wait to hear what she'd do with it. Well, here it is!

David Guetta is pop-EDM royalty, a producer and DJ that most artists would sever a limb to work with, since he is known for being a hitmaker who teams up with the top of the pops! One artist not keen on getting into bed, musically speaking, with the French superstar? Oh, none other than Lorde. Guetta will never be "royal" in her eyes!

One of the breakout artists of the year is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, better known as Australian teenager, Lorde. Her song, 'Royals' is a worldwide smash. We all know what happens when a tune gets this big...it gets a parody.

For everyone praising 'Royals' as a profound statement about pop culture, Lorde -- you know, the 16-year-old Kiwi who wrote and sings the song -- actually disagrees.

None of the mystique surrounding Lorde was shattered on Friday (Oct. 4) when the New Zealand-born singer, 16, performed her smash hit 'Royals' on 'Good Morning America.' She continues to intrigue us, even as boy bander Joe Jonas hurled a diss her way.

As if we weren't already excited enough for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' movie, the track list for its soundtrack has just been released -- and it's jam packed with our favorite artists!

Miley Cyrus expressed her dissatisfaction with Smilers behaving badly in a succinct and smart way.

In her smash hit 'Royals,' Lorde sings about craving a buzz different than that which accompanies the luxury of items like Cristal, Maybachs and diamonds. She's not kidding. She has zero interest in that type of excess. In her Billboard cover feature, where she looks positively royal with berry-stained lips, the singer, 16, reveals that she'd prefer to remain an enigma over doing interviews, shari

Lorde's real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor. She was born in Auckland, New Zealand, Nov. 7, 1996. Her new song, 'Royals' is beginning to explode in the U.S.

Lorde is just 16, but she is already taking the world by storm, with her Adele-like voice and seasoned vet attitude.

Selena Gomez is a busy girl. She kicked off her 'Stars Dance' tour, covered a very hip track by a 16-year-old songstress name Lorde and dropped a fun and frenetic lyric video for her new single 'Slow Down.' Never a dull moment in Sel's world.
