Why she quit social media

Whilst most celebs rely on having millions of followers on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok these days to promote their latest work and connect with their fans, Lorde quit social media altogether barely four years into her career and explained that she did away with her platforms because they were distracting her from her own thoughts.

She explained: "How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. I was like, 'This can't be it, I can't do this forever!' But I think it was altering my neural pathways and homogenising my trains of thought. I was losing touch with my ability to explore an idea at my own pace, which felt like losing my free will at times. I was addicted!"
