Lorde Has Cleansed Herself of Social Media

James welcomes Lorde for a chat as part of her week-long residency at the show celebrating her new album, "Solar Power." And he asks her about stepping away from all social media, and she shares what app's comment section she's turned to fill that void. And the two talk about what fans can expect from her tour next year.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

She threw her cellular device in the water. Can you reach her? No, you can’t

[babii]

Lorde looking like your cool literature professor

[ramziiiii]

Lorde has no social media presence and always relevant
That's what happens when you are a genuine real person

[DJoyUnited]

She is handling her fame just right, doing her craft while not letting the media own her.

[theredrobin]

James, if you don’t FINALLY bring Lorde onto carpool karaoke...that would be SUCH a crime...please, please, let it be a thing

[sofianasaruddin]

She’s literally my inspiration to get rid of social media.

[Kang-etxs]

ok but she’s definitely rocking that mia thermopolis before being a princess look

[evedotcom]

She blocked youtube. Here’s me thinking I’m above everyone deleting my social media but spending several hours a day on YouTube 🙃 I bow to thee, Lorde

Ok everyone, Lorde dropped literally sage-level wisdom in this interview, this is The Quote (about quitting social media):

"It was just sort of the experience of reading about the world all of the time. I felt like I didn't have time to decide how I felt about anything -- I would just be like, well what does everyone else think? And what I think would be a version of what everyone else thinks. Now I just give it a bit more time. But it's very difficult, and I truly only do it because [it would impede my artistic process.]"

She's laid a finger on the reason why social media in excess becomes a problem.

[DavidDiMuzio]

Boy, I really love her. She just seems like such a genuinely awesome person.

[vwellbeing]

Lorde is inspirational, such a talented artist.

[prakritimoon]

What Lorde did is really difficult and challenging at the same time.

[helentejada]

Off social media for 2 years now and freaking love it. It's nice to just do things for me and not for other people's reaction. I went to a cool restaurant this weekend and it was nice no one saw my food pic haha

[TomLugo]

You can really sense her intellect when you listen to her. She's damn smart and interesting. She looks so shy and intelligent. I'm not much of a fan but I do perceive her as a brilliant person, don't know why. God bless her.

[iansalvacion_]

Lorde is a league of her own. So honored to witness her existence in this lifetime.

[deepthoughtswithjessica]

Nothing is funnier than coming onto the interwebs and reading comments about how much everyone hates social media. The irony is too much for me!🤣

[tkoviet]

Only 24 years old and so wise already. Such a beautiful genuine soul. From a 31 years old.

[josephmojica]

She’s just ahead of this time, i love her so much ❤️

[dougdeveloper]

That's what I love about Lorde when it comes to getting rid of her social media. To her, it's never about HER, but it's about her art and her music. She's already beautiful. She doesn't need to show that to the world every day with selfies and sexy dresses. She's just herself. And for that, I find her more attractive than ever.

lorde is the nerd representation in pop media that we need
