Lorde: NZ's Superstar
New Zealand singer Lorde is one of the hyped-up super stars in music right now, but one more A-lister singing her praises couldn't hurt. Auckland teen 16-year-old Elle Yelich-O'Connor has only become more and more famous, and she only started just months ago. She has attracted millions of fans worldwide, and she can count some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. The LA gig gave the young rising star her first dish of real fame, when she encountered the US paparazzi. "Her infectious hits "The Love Club" and "Royals" have sparked an underground following that translated into her first-ever shows in New York City and Los Angeles this week. And both were completely sold out. People reportedly paid up
to US$120 (NZ$150) for a 45 minute show. In an interview with Lorde before her LA show, the the teen revealed that she gets also "disgustingly sick" with nerves before going onstage.
