Apparently, there\u2019s no bad blood between Lorde and Taylor Swift\u2019s squad after all. The singer took to Twitter to address her recent comments in a lengthy note in which she referred to Swift as a \u201cdear friend\u201d and expressed her frustration about the \u201csquad\u201d mentality. p><\/p>\n
\t\u201cWow \u2014 something of a frustrating thing to have to address online, but here we go,\u201d she wrote. \u201cTaylor is a dear friend. I love her very much. In the interview in question I had just been talking about Bowie and Patti Smith \u2015 those were the \u2018idols\u2019 I was referring to that I was saying I\u2019m not friends with, not Taylor! \u201cI\u2019ve always found people\u2019s perception of this \u2018squad\u2019 idea frustrating in the past; it was never some exclusive club or secret society but a wide circle of people, some of whom I know and some who I\u2019ve never met, like most wide groups of friends. Forgive me for the mild eyeroll I popped when it was brought up as if we\u2019re all blood members of a secret cult,\u201d she continued. \u201cReally shitty to wake up to headlines about whether or not you\u2019ve jumped ship on someone you deeply respect and ride for. I want to say one more time that Taylor has been there for me in all my dark and light moments these past 5 years. All of them. I fucked up an interview question. Now go sip a beverage and head out on a walk.\u201d Amen on that last remark! Lol!\t<\/p>\n
\t\tAt this point, Taylor Swift is losing squad members faster than she lost her country accent after her first album. After Karlie Kloss broke the cardinal rule (never EVER hang out with a KarJenner), Lorde essentially pressed the squad eject button. \u201cI don\u2019t hang out with these people at all,\u201d the singer said during an interview with Sunrise about her many celebrity friends. \u201cThe second you think too hard about it, you\u2019ll just go insane, so it\u2019s best to be like, \u2018We\u2019re in wonderland and it\u2019s just what happens around here,\u2019\u201d she added. After the interviewer reminded Lorde that she is famously part of the squad in question, Swift threw the \u201cMelodrama\u201d singer a birthday party in November but she seemed reluctant to tie herself down to any one friend group. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, you make friends in different places, but I think for the most part I\u2019m not, like, calling my idols for advice necessarily,\u201d she said. Instead, Lorde revealed that she looks to her family members for support, who she describes as \u201cinspiring in different ways.\u201d \u201cMy mom\u2019s a poet and very emotional; I\u2019m a reader because of her,\u201d she said. \u201cMy dad\u2019s an engineer, very methodical and very calm. I take a lot from both of them, I think.\u201d\t\t<\/p>\n
\tMaybe Lorde is distancing herself from the squad or she could just be avoiding mentioning Swift in any capacity after likening their friendship to having an autoimmune disease earlier this year. \u201cIt\u2019s like having a friend with very specific allergies,\u201d Lorde told The Guardian about being friends with someone as famous as Swift. \u201cThere are certain places you can\u2019t go together. Certain things you can\u2019t do. There are these different sets of considerations within the friendship. It\u2019s like having a friend with an autoimmune disease.\u201d After receiving backlash for her comments, given that another squad member, Selena Gomez, suffers from lupus, Lorde took to twitter to apologize writing that she \u201cfucked up & it was really insensitive.\u201d\t<\/p>\n
Wow! High School Cliques Are Just As Predominant In The World Of Music, Who Knew? <\/b> \t\t<\/p>\n\tSusan Z\u2019s Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
\nIt is becoming very obvious with all the drama that has always flown around Swift that she is more than likely a demanding diva friend. Something on the order of, \u201cif you want to be friends with me, this is the way we roll.\u201d
\nRumor has it the \u201cSwift\u2019s Squad\u201d of friends are pretty much falling by the wayside after her humiliating outing of the Kanye conversation recording incident about his infamous nude celebrity album cover which she was included and denied agreeing to it. She has gone radio silent since.<\/p>\n
The Hermit:<\/b>
\nThis is a card of self-introspection and alone time. I believe that Lorde is doing just that and stepping back from all the \u201cgirlfriend\u201d drama.\n\t<\/p>\n
Three of Cups:\t<\/b>
\nThis is a card of joy and celebration. I feel Lorde is very, very happy not having the burden of staying in Swift\u2019s boundaries of close friendship and her on-going spats.\n\t<\/p>\n
Nine of Pentacles:\t<\/b>
\nThis is a card of enjoying the success of one\u2019s hard work. I believe this is where Lorde is at this moment and doesn\u2019t want to be bothered with any petty crap and just wants to focus on what she loves to do, make music.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
