As a very talented and famous teen witch whose hair is filled with esoteric mysteries, Lorde does not have to suffer fools.
Case in point: she was interviewed on The Kyle & Jackie Show on Australia’s KIIS 1065 radio station. As part of the interview, one of the shock jocks asked her about her tender friendship with Taylor Swift. “I see your guys’ pictures everywhere. As you guys, like, together now?” he asked. Faced with stony silence, he dug himself into a deeper hole: “Not together as in lesbians…I’m not talking about ‘Ellen together.’ I’m talking about, like, you guys are friendly, right?”
Lorde responded, “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?” He quickly denied that’s what he was getting at (it was pretty clearly what he was getting at).
Sorry, nerd, but Queen Lorde does not have time for your moronic homophobia. [E!]
