Lorde explained she was ok with this in an interview saying "I guess I've always been a pretty 'dance to the beat of my own drum' type person. I was always that kid in the neighborhood who'd wear these crazy outfits...dancing to [music] walking down to the street."[1] Previosuly, she responded to trolls after her performance on SNL saying "one day i will do a normal dance choreographed by a nice person and I will look more like your other favourite performers but we have not yet reached that day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯."
