New Zealand’s newest singing sensation, Lorde, recently revealed that she had been offered the opportunity to open for Katy Perry’s upcoming tour, but turned it down.
Lorde is a rising sensation and has already dethroned Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball” as the number one U.S. single on iTunes, so it came as a big surprise to people that she would turn down such a great opportunity, but the wise 16-year-old says she had her reasons.
“I have a pretty good gut instinct for stuff and if it feels right I’ll do it,” she stated boldly. She went on to clarify that she has nothing against Katy Perry or her music saying, “I think she’s really talented.”
While we’re sad that we won’t get to see Lorde in concert any time soon, we do love her a little more for standing up and doing what she wants rather than what is expected of her.
Do you think Lorde made a wise decision to not open for Katy Perry?
