Unveiling the platinum look in her new music video for <em>Mood Ring<\/em>, the singer kept to her recent citrus colur scheme by pairing the Khaleesi-esque blonde hair with a silk gown in a pistachio hue.<\/p>\n<p>The bright blonde shade is a stark departure from Lorde&#8217;s trademark brunette locks, which she tends to wear in natural loose curls. Of course, Twitter subsequently went into meltdown as fans raved about the musician&#8217;s bold hair transformation, with one declaring, &#8220;Blonde Lorde is a SERVE&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Blonde Lorde is a SERVE <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jgN0iCz0jc\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/jgN0iCz0jc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; AJ (@tangerine_AJ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tangerine_AJ\/status\/1427694562336808971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">August 17, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the music video for <em>Mood Ring<\/em>, Lorde sends up the wellness influencer trope by creating a Byron Bay-style fever dream of white women, linen and crystals. There&#8217;s a distinct cult-y air to the sartorial clip, which the singer says was the result of her recent deep-dive into 60s Flower Child culture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted to understand the commune life, dropping out from society and trying to start again. That really resonated to me when writing this album,&#8221; Lorde shared in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One thing that occurred to me as a major parallel between that time and our time is our wellness culture and our culture of spirituality, pseudo-spirituality, wellness, pseudo-wellness,&#8221; the 24-year-old continued, explaining that the lyrics in <em>Mood Ring<\/em> \u2013 &#8220;You can burn sage and I\u2019ll cleanse the crystals&#8221; \u2013 reflect the holistic blonde princess persona Lorde embodies in the video.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CSsRhN4NgM-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
