LORDE has defended a controversial tweet about Kim Kardashian’s revealing cover, after fans took offence to the young singer’s comment.
The 18-year-old New Zealander retweeted Kardashian’s Paper cover on Tuesday along with the comment “MOM”, which she now says she meant in the nicest way possible.
“i retweeted kim’s amazing cover and wrote ‘MOM’, which among the youthz is a compliment; it basically jokingly means ‘adopt me/be my second mom/i think of you as a mother figure you are so epic’,” the Royals singer explained on her Tumblr on Friday.
“But straight after that i think someone else called out the cover saying kim has no right to look that sexy as she is a mother which is TOTAL trash — why should that stop her?
“if anything i think she gets even more beautiful and sexy all the time like a finea** wine, and of course has every right to showcase that — but i think our two comments got lumped in and also maybe reporters don’t understand my breed of humour/worship.”
Lorde concluded: “Kim’s cover was pure heaven. so so beautiful. i’m proud to say it’ll be on my wall.”
