Are Lorde and Taylor Swift In A Lesbian Relationship?

Well, according to Lorde, no.

And the rest of us would not have even thought to consider such a question, if it weren't for some Aussie DJ-come-opportunist Kyle Sandilands, who thought it was totally appropriate to try and trick Lorde into revealing a lesbian relationship with her new bezzie Taylor Swift, while she was talking about her Australian tour.

"I see you guys’ pictures everywhere are you guys together now?" he asked. "Not together as in lesbians, I’m not talking about “Ellen together” I’m talking about, like you guys are friendly right?" This has to be the most bizarre question every asked, right? Who sees that young celebrities have struck up a friendship and blatantly asks them if they're also screwing? Don't forget the "Ellen together" bit... because you know, public lesbianism is confined only to her and she is a well-known way of explaining the idea of being female and gay... because "lesbian" isn't enough obviously.

Lorde replied, "What do you mean you’re not talking about 'Ellen together', is there something wrong with lesbians?" And straight away the DJ came back with, "Oh my god no, I would love that! Are you going to confirm now you’re in a lesbian relationship with her?"

Really? That's your tactic? Lorde put the conversation to bed, responding, "Don't even try it". I would have said a hell of a lot more, but I guess she's a lot more dignified than I am. Good for you Lorde! People are crazy.
