Lorde is Sorry For Mentioning Autoimmune Diseases in Reference to Taylor Swift Friendship
Lorde is owning up to her mistakes.
The 20-year-old “Melodrama” singer took to social media to apologize for some comments she made about her friendship with Taylor Swift.
In case you missed it, Lorde used a rather strange analogy in a recent interview, saying it’s “like having a friend with an autoimmune disease.”
She received some backlash for being insensitive to people who do actually suffer from autoimmune diseases.
One fan on Twitter wrote, “I wonder how @selenagomez feels about this. What an incredibly ignorant analogy to make @lorde.”
(Selena suffers from Lupus.)
Lorde wrote back with an apology, “didn’t mention taylor, but regardless, i f-cked up & that was really insensitive. i’m sorry.”
didn't mention taylor, but regardless, i fucked up & that was really insensitive. i'm sorry ????
