Lorde is celebrating her 29th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Lorde (Royals, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 29th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Lorde, a cultural icon
Born Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor in Auckland on November 7, 1996, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in history. Lorde's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Lorde hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Lorde as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 29.
Happy Birthday, Lorde, you're the best!
