November 11th 2024.
Lorde celebrated her 28th birthday in the bustling city of New York City, and while her dear friend Charli XCX was not present, her pop hit "Brat Girl Summer" may have served as inspiration for the party's theme. The New Zealand-born musician first gained fame at the young age of 16 and has since become a household name in the music industry. To commemorate her special day, she shared several updates on her social media, including a photo of herself blowing out a candle and a glimpse of her dining room table adorned with various eye-catching items.
The table was filled with empty wine glasses, bottles of liquor, and even a bowl of cigarettes, lighters, and an ashtray. But what caught the attention of many was a ceramic dish that appeared to contain rolled joints. While the contents of the joints remained unknown, it is worth noting that in New York State, adults are allowed to possess up to 85 grams of cannabis and 24 grams of concentrated cannabis outside of their home, and up to 141 grams inside their home for personal use.
Although Lorde, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, did not explicitly mention a "brat-themed" party, it seems to align with the viral trend and aesthetic that combines a fun-loving party girl lifestyle with a polished edge. Other snapshots from the celebration show Lorde surrounded by friends, smiling as they sang her happy birthday and presented her with a cake adorned with a tall candle.
In one image, the popstar can be seen smoking a cigarette, exuding a carefree attitude. Another blurry photo captured her standing in front of a window, also smoking a cigarette, dressed in a black tube top, a grey skirt and her hair styled with two clips in the front. It has been a busy summer for the talented musician, who started things off with the release of "Girl, So Confusing" featuring Charli XCX, a song that delves into the complexities of their friendship.
During an interview with Zane Lowe last month, Charli revealed that the song was released before she had a chance to tell Lorde about it, and she was "ready for her to never speak to me again." However, Lorde had other ideas and suggested they collaborate on a remix, which quickly became a viral hit. The two have been seen together at various events since then, with Charli XCX sharing with Zane that they have been "partying as much as it looks like."
In addition to her newfound friendship with Charli XCX, Lorde has also been spotted spending time with UK record producer Blood Orange, also known as Devonté Hynes. Rumors have been circulating that the pair are working on Lorde's highly anticipated fourth studio album, after being seen together multiple times since February 2023. The duo was recently spotted taking a leisurely stroll in New York, looking happy and engaged in conversation.
Devonté has previously worked with top charting artists such as FKA twigs, Florence and the Machine, and A$AP Rocky. However, neither Lorde nor Devonté have confirmed if they are indeed collaborating or just good friends. Lorde's last album, "Solar Power," was a joint effort with Jack Antonoff and was released in 2021. It topped the charts in Australia and New Zealand and reached number two in the UK. The album touched on themes of summer escapism and Lorde's complicated relationship with fame.
As Lorde continues to make headlines with her music and personal life, fans eagerly await any updates on her fourth album. Until then, we can only speculate and enjoy her occasional social media updates. Do you have a celebrity story to share?
