Like many of us, Lorde<\/a> was addicted to her phone. In an interview with James Corden on\u00a0The Late Late Show<\/em> (where she wore the baby yellow suit of our dreams) the New Zealand pop icon has revealed she gave up social media to better her mental health, noting it was as addictive as sugar.<\/p>\n

“I did it because I felt like my brain wasn’t working very well anymore,” Lorde said. “It was horribly difficult, the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s still horribly difficult every day. It would be like stopping eating sugar for me like I still eat tons of sugar. And if I don’t have sugar, I feel insane.”<\/p>\n

“And the first little while of not being on social media was totally like that. I was so crabby,” she added. “I felt so disconnected. But it’s how my life is now.”<\/p>\n
