Swift and Lorde’s friendship blossomed after the “Cruel Summer” singer sent Lorde a bouquet of flowers after a live performance, and the two met in person at Shake Shack to get to know each more, per People. From there, Lorde and Swift performed together during Swift’s “1989” tour show in Washington DC in 2015, but they haven’t been seen much in public since.
In 2017, Lorde sparked rumors about tensions with Swift after she revealed in a June 2017 interview with Australia’s Sunrise (via E! News) that “I don’t hang out with these people at all,” allegedly in regard to Swift and the “Squad.”
Shortly after, however, the “Royals” artist clarified her comments on Twitter, writing in part (via Associated Press), “I want to say one more time that Taylor has been there for me in all my dark and light moments these past 5 years. All of them. I feel truly terrible that it would ever seem like I wasn’t faithfully her person.”
Since this mild drama, Lorde and Swift have not been seen in public together. However, on June 16, 2023, Lorde shared an Instagram Story showing off a text Swift sent her the week her album “Melodrama” dropped in 2017. “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*ck-with-me vibes all around you,” Swift wrote in the text. “And I don’t think first week record sales singularly define a legacy.”
Lorde captioned the Story, “Taylor was very kind and not wrong,” added a heart emoji and tagged Swift in the post, showing that the pair still seem to have a lot of love for one another.
