I see this quote has already been mutilated to death and taken out of context with flamebait threads and people not posting the entire excerpt of what she said about Ke$ha, just to get a hit thread, so lemme make the thread with the full quote.
Quote:
Question:I myself am a former indie snob who had to have a moment of realizing that I love pop music. Did you have such a moment, or are their particular artists who sealed the deal for you?
I definitely had that moment. I remember being in year eight, the year before high school, and absolutely loving “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha, and then six months later I got really into Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear and Yeasayer. I still love those bands, but I definitely went through a “you have to forget about the Ke$ha part of your life” thing. And then I realized that pop is really cool. In year 10, I have a really good friend called Zack, and we basically spent the first year of our friendship listening to old Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado and picking apart their melodic brilliance and everything that made us feel something and what it all meant. We would cover them on weird instruments, which was our way of accepting that type of music, but now I look back on that time and I’m like, that was actually a really good way of bringing together the alternative music that I liked and just the good, honest, fun pop stuff.
When I was young I had that classic mentality of not wanting too many people to like the thing that I liked. [Laughs] You know? I was like, “This is mine!” It was something that was special to me, and I felt stressed when it was became meaningful to too many other people as well—which I think is like a classic hipster mentality re: pop. But I’ve definitely settled that, and I can be happy that I love pop music and that everyone else does too.
I don't get it????? It starts off as shade then it circles back to praising Kesha (more like pop music). Well either way... Just goes to prove that Kesha is the queen of pop
Pop is addictive. But it's somewhat stupid. The best is not to be strongly attach to just on genre and experience the particular brilliance of each one.

Funny how when the title is something shady, and this quote is taken out of context, it got 5 pages within the same amount of time that this thread is struggling to get one.

It's the same when you see in your neighborhood smoke soaring up in the sky, you are curious and run to the place to look what tragedy took place. It's human all too human

She never shaded Ke$ha. She shaded herself. Lorde is saying she was stupid to buy into the "pop music is for tasteless idiots" mindset, and she's glad she has seen the light now.

When you say "funny", do you mean to say you are surprised?
