Lorde's Pre-Show Rituals Often Involve Flowers & Glitter

Lorde's Pre-Show Rituals Often Involve Flowers & Glitter

Lorde rocks a big furry coat in her new photo shoot for Vogue Australia‘s October 2017 issue, on newsstands September 25.

Here’s what the “Green Light” singer had to share:

On songwriting: “I think the key is to keep making really personal records. That’s kind of always been my thing, to tell my specific story, in all its awkwardness and weirdness and greatness.”

“I’ll notice something and write it down and I’m definitely doing that all the time,” joking that her friends must find it annoying. “I do it constantly: my notes are just full of my observations.” When a common thread emerges, she joins the dots. She’s done it for so long, she doesn’t let it get in the way of experiences. “People close to me definitely realize me pulling my phone out and writing down something they’ve said … but I don’t try to chase the story too much. I just sort of let it happen.”

On staying creative during her performances, with a grueling tour schedule stretching into 2018: “I’ve got flowers and arranged them in a little way before I go on stage, or a few times I covered my hands in glitter using my hands like little energy conductors. So I’ve been doing weird witchy things.”
