Lorde on new found fame and lifestyle: 'The irony isn't lost on me'

New Zealand based singer Lorde has joked about the fact that everything she sings about in her hit single 'Royals' is now available to her as a result of the song's obvious success. 

In the track, the star mentions tigers on gold leashes, Grey Goose vodka and other opulent items, but sings about them being out of her reach. Now, extravagances are presenting themselves to her and Lorde has addressed this irony, explaining that she's still trying to live in a low-key way:

"The irony is not lost on me. I definitely don’t feel like I’m living in a particularly extravagant sort of way, which I think is good because I think for me, personally, if I was thrown into that kind of thing I wouldn’t know how to deal with it."

She then added: "I think it’s good to kind of keep on keeping on: just do what you have normally done and sort things into a stride."

Back in November, Lorde told Interview magazine that she finds it hard to relate to the luxury modern rap songs reference and said: "Around the middle of last year I started listening to a lot of rap, like Nicki Minaj and Drake, as well as pop singers like Lana Del Rey. They all sing about such opulence, stuff that just didn’t relate to me — or anyone that I knew..."
