Lorde Clarifies A Comment She Made About Kim Kardashian’s Ass In A Detailed Blog Post
I’m not sure if Kim Kardashian‘s butt-exposing Paper magazine cover actually succeeded in breaking the internet, but it sure made Twitter a bloodbath for a couple of days. One of the surprise victims was Lorde. She tweeted the pic along with the comment “mom”. As anyone under 30 can tell you, that basically translates as “I love you, please adopt me” but it was misinterpreted by bloggers as a dig. The Kiwi took to her blog last night (November 13) to set the record straight.
“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” (obviously i love my own mama and she is the best tho) 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?” she wrote.
“If anything i think she gets even more beautiful and sexy all the time like a fineass 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. i am the biggest fan of [photographer] Jean-Paul Goude and of Grace Jones, as you know, and there’s no way i could support one and not the other you know?” Lorde elaborated.
“It wouldn’t make any sense to worship Rih in her swarovski crystal gown at the CFDAs, or Grace naked on the cover of Island Life (as shot by Goude!), and not Kim. to summarize – Kim’s cover was pure heaven. so so beautiful. i’m proud to say it’ll be on my wall.” Here’s where it gets really good. “I messaged our mutual friend [ie. Kanye West] straight away and made sure Kim understood, and she does and all is well. so i hope that’s cleared up. next time i’ll go for a good old fashioned ‘SLAY’ instead.”
