If you like the song "Royals" by Lorde, you may have to thank former player George Brett of the Kansas City Royals. Why's that, you ask? Because, in an interview with VH1, the 17-year-old singer reveals that she struggled to figure out a title for her now hit single until she came across a picture of Brett.
She goes on to say that "this image from the National Geographic (the above picture) of this dude just signing baseballs. He was a baseball player and his shirt said, ‘Royals.’ It was just that word. It’s really cool.”
There you have it, folks! Brett's inspiration simply comes from his team's jersey and nothing more. It has nothing to do with baseball or the legend in the picture.
