Lorde Is Still Friends With Diplo, But Won't Stand for Body Shaming

Lorde, who curated The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 soundtrack , says that she’s friends with Diplo despite recently dissing him on Twitter in defense of Taylor Swift. I mean, there’s even a Major Lazer track on the project. “I think often I say things and realize that Americans hear what I say differently to how I hear it,” she says during an interview with Fader. “I love Wes and he’s a big brother to me and one of my first friends in the industry, and part of having a friendship with someone like that is not letting them say stupid shit. Taylor’s my friend as well, and I’m a girl, and if I see some weird body-shaming on my feed I’m going to be like, ‘Hey man…’ We do still love each other, hopefully.”

During the interview, Lorde also reveals that Taylor Swift has influenced her to remain “graceful” about fame and that she’s striving to try new things with her music thanks to a conversation she had with Kanye West. That’s that Swift-Yeezy motivation combination. And it’s enough to make you dance while you listen to Diplo’s remix of Lorde’s “Tennis Court.”
