I’m lovin’ how the media is continuing to run with this story. It gives me hope:
Earlier this week, former teen (she’s 20 now!!) pop music idol Lorde tweeted a photo of her with Canadian pop queen Carly Rae Jepsen and Charli XCX, asking if they could form a girl band one day. Social media, understandably, freaked the fuck out at the possibility of a pop super group. An intrepid internet hero even illustrated what we believe would make a great album cover for their project. Lorde is best friends with Taylor Swift and part of Swift’s Squad (patent pending.) Lorde and Swift’s friendship started out sincerely with Swift sending Elle Yelich O’Connor (Lorde’s real name) flowers to congratulate her on the success of her debut LP . The rest, as they say, is history: Instagram posts, public declarations of admiration, birthday parties, and whatever else Swift’s Squad does. Probably blood drinking. -Sarah MacDonald
