Lorde<\/a> has opened up about what it was like finding sudden fame \u2013 and subsequently, international scrutiny \u2013 as a teenager. The singer, who was catapulted onto the global stage at only 16 years old, recently addressed her experience in a new interview<\/a>, where she discussed the situations she faced as a young woman trying to navigate body image with the whole world watching.<\/p>\n

“I sort of kicked [my body] out the conversation,” she explained. \u201cI was pretty intent about that. I didn\u2019t want people to be talking about what my body looked like. I was a kid. And I really wasn\u2019t ‘in’ my body. As a teenager, you kind of wear your body like an outfit that doesn\u2019t fit yet.”<\/p>\n

There has been much discussion recently in Hollywood about the difficulties faced by young female stars, with the likes of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish speaking out about the unique pressures that come with teenage popstar-dom.<\/p>\n

But Lorde credited her low-key Auckland upbringing with being able to decline interest or opportunities concerning her body that she wasn’t completely comfortable with.<\/p>\n
