Lorde checks her Instagram account every hour.
The 17-year-old singer is so obsessed with the picture-sharing site, which she has over 1 million followers, that she is constantly checking her page for updates.
She said: "I'm kind of cruising Instagram every hour or so, it's the one I check back to when I'm bored."
However, the 'Royals' singer caused a stir last week when she used the social media site to attack over-the-top re-touching of celebrity snaps.
The teen-sensation slammed the use of Photoshop by posting before and after shots of her edited self, encouraging her many followers to embrace their "flaws."
She wrote: "i find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok (sic)."
Despite encouraging her fans to go natural on Instagram, Lorde, who is famed for her signature purple lipstick, recently revealed she will be paring up with cosmetics brand MAC to deliver a limited edition range that will debut in stores this summer.
She said in a statement: "I have loved MAC cosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends!"

Kelis is still haunted by her racist attack she suffered in a Spanish airport three years ago.
The 'Milkshake' hitmaker had abuse hurled at her by a British man in 2011 for allegedly "jumping a queue" at passport control, and she still finds it shocking the way he screamed at her and called her a "disgusting Nigerian".
She said: "That situation really brought me back to a reality that I have not been reminded of in a long time. No-one [ever] approaches me like I'm just some n***er - not that there's any such thing - but some people have their own perceptions of who's valuable and who isn't."
The 34-year-old singer claims she has "no words" to describe the "absolute rage" of the man, who verbally abused her while she was carrying her young son, Knight, and she was shocked nobody stepped in to defend her.
She explained: "I was standing in a queue of British people and not one person said a single thing, which was unreal to me.This 6.4ft man is screaming at me, I have a child in my arms, and people were backing away. How is that okay?"
The star, who also received a message of support from London Mayor Boris Johnson on Twitter, insists the incident has taught her a lot about attitudes to race in the UK.
She told NME magazine: "The British would rather ignore things and pretend they don't exist, which is ironic, because I would never have thought such problems existed had this man not been yelling at me."

Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis thinks Led Zeppelin will reform again one day.
The music festival chief would like to see the classic rock band headline the event at Worthy Farm and is adamant they will get back together to take to the stage.
Asked if the group would ever reform, he told radio station Ireland AM: "That will happen one day - I'm sure of it. They will do it."
The band - made up of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones have turned down a number of offers and their last big show was at London's O2 Arena in December 2007, where they were joined by drummer Jason Bonham, son of the band's late John Bonham.
Michael also made a cryptic comment about an act who he would never invite back to play at Glastonbury again, although he only referred to them as a band from Manchester "who aren't famous any more ... they fell out".
Meanwhile, the team behind the festival have confirmed a number of acts who will play this year, including Lana Del Rey, Arcade Fire, Dolly Parton, Lily Allen, Disclosure, Blondie, The Black Keys and Warpaint.
They will release the full line-up for the event later this month.

Kirsten Dunst was scared of working with Viggo Mortensen.
The 'Spider-Man' actress will star alongside the 'Lord of the Rings' actor in the upcoming thriller 'The Two Faces of January' and she's admitted, although his casting convinced her to accept the part, she was nervous about working with him.
She said: "He's one of those actors ... The first time I met him he was very reserved. It was in an elevator. I was like, 'Hi'. He was like, Oh hi.'
"I learned later he was very shy. So I was nervous, even a little scared, to work with him. I thought, 'This is going to be intense."
The 31-year-old star also revealed that although many people see Mortensen as a very serious man, he's actually very funny and she thinks he should consider more comedic roles.
She added to Haper's Bazaar magazine: "Then I got the whole other side, which I don't think many people know. He should do comedy, I've told him that.
"I laughed so much with Viggo ... I'm sure he wouldn't be happy with people knowing how fun he is."

Kate Hudson claims she'll eat "anything".
The 34-year-old actress doesn't limit herself to a strict diet because she likes to try different foods, but she makes sure she stays healthy by having a good level of fitness.
She said: "I'll eat anything. There is nothing that I won't try. I'll try anything, as crazy as it is!"
The blonde beauty - who has children Ryder, 10, and two-year-old son Bingham - believes her trim physique is down to breaking "a sweat six days a week".
She explained to The Zoe Report: "My rule is to try and break a sweat six days a week, whether through an intense workout or running around with the kids. I just try to break a sweat. I believe that with anything in life, you need motivation. The one thing that women always talk about is how they'd like to find time for themselves to make themselves happy. Being active can be challenging, but it's one of the greatest health benefits."
Meanwhile, despite her jet-setting acting career, Kate admits she secretly likes spending time at home.
She said: "One of the things that people don't know is that I'm a homebody. I love being at home."

Haylie Duff has got engaged.
The 29-year-old actress is planning to tie the knot after her boyfriend Matt Rosenberg popped the question on April Fools day (01.04.14) earlier this week.
The blonde beauty, who has just landed her own show 'Real Girl's Kitchen' on the Cooking Channel, shared the news on her blog today (03.04.14), writing: "This week has seriously just become the best week of my life! As if announcing The Real Girl's Kitchen tv show wasn't enough, Matt just took me by total surprise and proposed...on April Fool's Day of all days! The moment was genuine and sweet (like him!) and I couldn't wait to say yes!
"We are so excited and happy to share our wonderful news with everyone! We both feel so blessed to have the love and support of our family and friends and can't wait to start this new adventure! (sic)".
She then signed the post with: "The Future Mrs. Rosenberg (sic)".
Haylie's engagement news comes just three months after her younger sister Hilary, 26, announced her split from husband Mike Comrie after three years of marriage.
Haylie was previously in a relationship with Nick Zano for three years from 2008 until 2011.

Johnny Depp believes Amber Heard is "very good" for him.
The 50-year-old actor thinks his 27-year-old beau, whom he recently got engaged to, brings out the best in him and he finds her "wonderful" and beautiful.
He told Today.com: "She's a wonderful girl. She's sharp as a tack. A southern belle and sweet as can be, and very good for me."
The couple first sparked rumours they had got engaged in January after the 'Transcendence' star reportedly popped the question over the Christmas period.
However, Johnny insists he'll be leaving the wedding planning to the blonde beauty because he's "really bad" at organising things.
He said previously: "I think that I would be better at making women's shoes than I would be at wedding planning, I can't plan anything. I'm really bad at that stuff."
Johnny first met Amber on the set of 'The Rum Diary' in 2011 and a year later separated from his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, and began dating Amber shortly afterwards.

Joe Jonas believes Justin Bieber's father is to blame for his recent "animal behaviour".
The former Jonas Brothers singer thinks the 20-year-old star's dad Jeremy is responsible for his legal troubles over the past year because he hasn't helped him with fame.
He explained to Scene magazine: "I've had an easier route than most. The youngsters just turning 20, the Biebers of the world, are under a microscope. [Justin] is having a very tough time finding balance. I think we all saw it coming.
"Your dad is your party animal -- that's going to sum it up pretty quick. There's an equation for some sort of explosion."
The 'Beauty and A Beat' hitmaker is set to appear in court on May 5 after he was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving without a valid license, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.
Justin was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini when police stopped him for allegedly drag racing.
Toxicology test results later showed the singer had traces of marijuana and Xanax in his system at the time of the arrest.
He has also been charged with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto, Canada, and is being investigated over the egging of a neighbour's house in Los Angeles.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin reportedly "butted heads over parenting" their children.
The former couple - who announced last week they were splitting after 10 years of marriage - clashed over their ideas of raising their kids Apple, nine, and Moses, seven.
A source told Us Magazine: "'They butted heads over parenting."
The 'Iron Man 3' star and her Coldplay rocker spouse had successfully managed to juggle their busy careers and family life, but friends believe Gwyneth's "controlling" ways became too much for Chris, 37.
The source explained: "Gwyneth would snipe at Chris and say things to him like, 'You're such a moron'.
"For a long time they balanced each other out, but she was a control freak. Chris couldn't take it anymore."
It was recently reported the pair were keen for a quick divorce and are trying to come to an amicable custodial and financial agreement, as they have no interest in airing their dirty laundry in a trial.
Meanwhile, despite their split, the pair have vowed to stay friends for the sake of their children and are currently enjoying a family vacation.
Another source said: "They're trying to make it as easy as possible for the kids. The whole plan is to do this as amicably as possible."

David Letterman will retire next year.
The 66-year-old presenter will step down from his hosting duties on his programme 'The Late Show with David Letterman', which he has fronted for 20 years, in 2015.
The beloved host announced his news to the audience during the taping of the programme this afternoon (03.04.15), but it is believed CBS will release a statement prior to the show airing at 11.35pm EST today.
The news surfaced earlier today after the bassist for R.E.M. Mike Mills, who is appearing on the show this evening, took to Twitter to share the announcement.
He wrote: "Dave just announced his retirement #2015 #muchlovedave. (sic)".
David is the longest-serving late night talk show host in TV history after fronting NBC's 'Late Night' for 11 years, before taking on the 'Late Show' in 1993.
He extended his contract with CBS last year, which will see him stay on the 'Late Show' until the end of 2015.
David's news comes just over a month after his longtime rival Jay Leno, 63, announced his retirement from his programme 'The Tonight Show' in February.

Abbie Cornish is a "hopeless romantic".
The 31-year-old actress admits she moved from Australia to Los Angeles seven years ago after following her heart because falling in love is her biggest weakness.
Speaking about leaving her native country for the US, she told Porter magazine: "I never came [to LA] for work, I came for love. I'm a hopeless romantic. That's probably my weakest point."
At the time of her move, the blonde beauty was dating Ryan Phillippe after they met on the set of 'Stop-Loss' in 2006, the same year the US hunk divorced Reese Witherspoon, with whom he has two children.
However, the couple split up three years later in February 2010 and Abbie moved out of their shared home in California shortly afterwards.
Ryan then went on to date model Alexis Knapp, whom he has two-year-old daughter Kailani with, in the summer of 2010, before they broke up a few months later.
Meanwhile, Abbie, who hasn't had a high-profile relationship since, insists she's currently single but recently admitted she's "totally open to having a relationship".
