How would that help her in any way?

I agree.

She looks closer to 30 tbh

Lorde ain't no Chinese gymnast. She's 17.

Teen Hottie Lorde you mean. Yes she could easily be 25.

Yes. It's very possible. Honestly, she looks like she's in her 30's

She even sounds like it

Yeah

There's Pictures of her in school so... no

mhm

Yes, she looks like she's in her late 20's.

A 16 year old teenager that came out of no where singing about things that are more mature than most of pop music topics, broke music records being the youngest artist to........etc.

Being young helps a lot in the industry, because artists are marketed with a story and the story has to be good if you want people to listen.

I mean the way she sings you would think that should be, like, 40 and in three gangs.

Isn't that illegal or something? One can't just lie publicly about their age, right?

EDIT: She looks older than Avril tho...

Even though her features are a bit mature, she still has this child-like aura to her.

Oh my, the far out conspiracy theories just won't stop.

A TV writer did the same thing in the 90s.

Being a young singer-songwriter has given her a lot of recognition, and the fact she's "only 17" is mentioned in a lot of interviews/articles.

Idk, though.

Everyone said the same about Bey in 2000...

No way is it true

What?????
