Lorde Opens Up About Struggles with Eating Disorder and Creative Comeback

Lorde, whose new album ‘Virgin’ debuted at number one in the UK, opens up about her personal struggles and how an eating disorder nearly led her to quit music. In a candid interview, the New Zealand singer revealed that in early 2023, she felt completely disconnected from her creativity, consumed by thoughts of food, weight, and exercise. Her obsession with maintaining a minimal weight had overtaken her life. After undergoing a period of recovery, Lorde rediscovered her creativity and poured her emotions into her latest album, ‘Virgin’, which explores topics like eating disorders, body image, gender identity, and personal relationships. The album’s creation process was challenging but allowed Lorde to place her artistry at the forefront. She also touched on her evolving relationship with gender, explaining how her journey led her to break free from conventional femininity and embrace a more expansive definition of beauty. With this album, Lorde not only opened up about her personal battles but also embraced vulnerability, marking a significant milestone in her artistic evolution.
