In a revealing interview with Rolling Stone, Lorde speaks candidly about her battle with an eating disorder, which began during the promotion of her 2021 album, Solar Power. She recalls times when she would go hungry to fit into her stage outfits, despite enjoying the experience of performing. Lorde reflects on her internal conflict, sharing that she felt both joy from touring and deep loathing for her body. Her struggles are underscored in her music, hinting at a deeper personal fight that she now openly acknowledges.
I felt so hungry and so weak. I was on TV that morning, and I didn't eat because I wanted my tummy to be small in the dress. It was just this sucking of a life force or something.
I don't know how those two things can be true: that I'm having this really amazing, rich experience of playing the shows and meeting these kids, and yet I'm also looking at the pictures afterward and feeling deep loathing at the sight of my beautiful, tiny tummy.
