Lorde says her mother stops her from becoming a diva.
The 18-year-old singer has achieved worldwide global pop success since the release of her debut album ‘Pure Heroine’ last year but she still travels everywhere with her mum, poet Sonja Yelich, and she puts a stop to any histrionics straight away.
She revealed: "I live at home, in my childhood bedroom. I travel with my mum and if I were to ever say anything a little bit diva-esque, she’d knock it right down."
Although she has achieved her musical dreams at a young age, Lorde still enjoys living the life of a regular teenager and as soon as she gets home to Takapuna in Auckland, New Zealand, she reconnects with her friends.
And her pals love to mercilessly tease her about her pop star status.
The ‘Royals’ singer – who has just compiled the soundtrack for ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ – told Time Out magazine: "It’s important to me that I’m still in touch with my teenage life, even if what I’m doing every day may not be strictly teenage. So the second I get home I’m calling my friends. I love being young and I want to retain that for as long as possible, even if I am like an old lady and working all the time.
"My friends all tease me. We’ll go out and get food, and without fail one of them will say, really loud, ‘Oh my god! Is that Lorde?’ It’s so horrible, but they’re great."
