Lorde

What a year for Lorde! Not only did the 17-year-old Australia native burst onto the scene with her smash hit 'Royals' and her debut album, 'Pure Heroine,' but for the first time ever she is also up for a dozen Billboard Music Awards in a whopping 12 out of 40 categories.

Flaws are OK. That is what singer Lorde is preaching on Twitter, but the singer, who we need to remember is just 17, is not paying lip service to the concept. She is not showing -- she is doing. She shared an Photoshopped image and a real one, pointing out the difference.

Twitter just turned eight and to celebrate Twitter launched...

When Lorde called in to Australia's 'Kyle & Jackie O. Show' last week, she did more than just craft the perfect retort to the hosts' implication that she was in a lesbian relationship with Taylor Swift. The 'Royals' phenomenon also revealed why she turned down the opportunity to open for Katy Perry on the 'Dark Horse' singer's upcoming tour.

How do you feel about clowns? Are you deathly afraid of them? Then I'm not sure how you feel about a singing clown doing his version of TEAM, but it gives the song a whole new meaning. If you don't like clowns, will a singing clown change your mind? This one might!

The Recording Academy is an organization that shows love for the music community in a multitude of ways all year long. But on Sunday January 26th it is all about the Grammys and celebrating (as they say) artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry.

Like her chart-topping sister Lorde, little sis India Yelich-O'Connor seems to want to break into the music business. The 15-year-old recently uploaded a cover of A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera's 'Say Something' to SoundCloud.

The lineup for the 2014 Coachella festival has been announced, and fans long wishing for an OutKast reunion are going to be verrrrry happy.

A 2004 graduate of Hopkins High School (home of the Royals) gives us the latest 'Lorde' parody. Meet Molly Dworsky and enjoy her take on 'Royals.' I'm sure her friends in Hopkins, Edina, Golden Valley, Minnetonka, Plymouth and St. Louis Park are representing!

The 2014 Grammy nominees for Best Pop Solo Performance come from a range of singers. Whether it's a former boy bander-turned-solo-success or a New Zealand newcomer, these artists represent the best pop music has to offer. Sara Bareilles, Lorde, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are all contenders for the honor. Who do you think should win the Grammy?

Not only does Lorde detest being referred to as a teen hottie, she refuses to accept tons of cash in order to do things that are not natural to her. She is not looking for a paycheck if it means selling her soul.

It seems as if every positive piece of news for Lorde is accompanied by something controversial or negative.
