Kiwi singer-songwriter Lorde has shared an inside look at her longtime friendship with Taylor Swift.
Lorde shared a screenshot of a private text between her and the Midnights singer, with Swift telling her in a 2017 message: “You will always be imagined in my mind in a rowboat with Annie Lennox floating down a river of cool cerebral ethereal dreams but don’t-f***-with-me vibes all around you.”
The text continued: “And I don’t think first week record sales singularly define a legacy,” referring to Lorde’s 2017 album Melodrama.
