Lorde Gets Hot, Heavy & Heated In Disclosure’s “Magnets” Video: Watch
It has not been a good year for male music video characters, and the body count rises yet again with Disclosure and Lorde‘s “Magnets” visual. It’s the latest addition to the vengeful pop vixens trend of 2015 following ass-kicking, blood-spilling visuals from Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Lana Del Rey and, most recently, Ellie Goulding.
Review:: Disclosure's 'Caracal'
Lorde stars in the stylish video, stalking around a cocktail party like pretty girls (namely, the host’s wife) don’t know the things that she knows. The next day, she’s getting hot and heavy with the man, but when she later emerges in an outfit straight out of The Matrix and starts into her witchy dance, it’s clear she’s not just some other woman.
Watch the slow-burner revenge tale below, along with Lorde’s tweets about the video.
one of my life goals has always been "to one day play a hitgirl who pretends to seduce then burns alive douchey boyfriends"

the most important part of the video is when you see her black eye as she turns away at the window.. hope it all makes sense from that point
