AceShowbiz - Lorde set the record straight on her remarks about the infamous Taylor Swift squad. The "Green Light" singer took to Twitter to clarify her comments, denying any suggestion that she pressed the eject button on Taylor and slamming the media for twisting her words.
"Wow - something of a frustrating thing to have to address online but here we go. Taylor is a dear friend. I love her very much. In the interview in question I had just been talking about [David] Bowie and Patti Smith - those were the 'idols' I was referring to that I was saying I'm not friends with, not Taylor!" Lorde explained.
"I've always found people's perception of this 'squad' idea frustrating in the past; it was never some exclusive club or secret society, but a wide circle of people, some of whom I know, and some who I've never met, like most wide groups of friends. Forgive me for the mild eyeroll I popped when it was brought up as if we’re all blood members of a secret cult," she continued.
"Really s**tty to wake up to headlines about whether or not you've jumped ship on someone you deeply respect and ride for. 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. I f**ked up an interview question. Now go sip a beverage and head out on a walk."
