Selena Gomez, Lorde Feud: 'She Doesn't Like Me,' 'Slow Down' Singer Tells Seventeen Magazine
Selena Gomez opened up about a past incident with newcomer Lorde in the upcoming issue of Seventeen magazine.
“I recently did an interview and they asked me who I thought was up-and-coming and making a difference. I said, ‘She doesn’t like me, but Lorde,'" Gomez said in the March issue. "I’m going to support her whether she likes me or not because I think she’s doing great things.”
The 21-year-old was reportedly once dissed by the Royals singer when she voiced her dislike for Gomez's song Come & Get It.
“I love pop music on a sonic level. But I’m a feminist and the theme of her song is, ‘When you’re ready come and get it from me.’ I’m sick of women being portrayed this way," she's quoted saying during an interview last September.
Yet, Gomez didn't say anything negative about Lorde. Instead, she said she hopes any encounter they have will be a pleasant one.
"I’ve never met her, but she’s extremely talented, and she has a voice that she likes to use, and I think that’s great," she said. "Some day I will see her and we’ll be cool.”
Aside from her problems with Lorde, Gomez also spoke about her strong celebrity friendships with Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift.
“That’s why I love Demi and Taylor — they support females and love to have that empowerment!” Gomez said. “I wish girls would stop hurting each other.”
She added: “I love my girl friends more than I’ve loved any of my boyfriend because they have supported me, loved me, and always stood by my side. Some girls will drop you in five seconds for the right guy. That’s not how it’s supposed to be.”
