Lorde made a big splash at an unusually young age. She was 16 when “Pure Heroine” was released, and then after she turned 17 she won Grammys for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year for “Royals.” That made her the sixth youngest Grammy winner of all time, and the youngest ever winner of the top songwriting award. Can we expect big changes from her now at the ripe old age of 20? Watch the video above, and discuss this and more in our music forum.
