“Apparently Melodrama is 6,” Lorde wrote on her Instagram story, before sharing a bunch of behind the scenes images from the album rollout.
One of the best parts of the slide show was when Lorde showed a text she received from Taylor Swift.
The beginning of Taylor’s text is cut off, but it said in part: “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-fuck-with-me vibes all around you.”
“And I don’t think first week record sales singularly define a legacy,” Taylor added in a stanza-like format. She’s Taylor Swift — of course she naturally texts poetically.
I just know Taylor is the type of friend that sends those important texts when you need it most.
“I love you so much for this,” Lorde responded.
“Taylor was very kind and not wrong,” Lorde captioned the Instagram story.
Ugh, I love their friendship. Now let’s get a collab goin’, ASAP. You can watch Lorde’s Instagram story while it’s still up here.
