17-year-old Lorde has got the world’s attention, however she’s adamant that no matter how big her following, she’ll never give her fans a nickname.
In this week’s issue of LOOK magazine, the singer says: "I find it grating to lump everyone into a really awkward, pun-centric name. People joke about it on Twitter, 'You should call us The Disciples'. Never!"
In fact, she goes so far as telling her fans not to give themselves a name. "I have discouraged it. I've tweeted multiple times, 'No fan name, I do not condone this'," she says.
The musician has no problems being called a pop star either. "I wouldn't take offence!" she says. "People think pop's filthy and shameful. I love pop music! I don't think it's right to s**t on a genre just because some stuff about it isn't perfect. Pop is really powerful and if I'm a popstar then I'll be that to the best of my ability."
