Lorde disses radio host's lesbian joke

Tue 11 Mar 2014 In: New Zealand Daily News

Kyle Sandilands didn't succeed in trying to start a Lorde lesbian rumour “Is there something wrong with lesbians?” Lorde has hit back at an Australian shock joke who tried to make a joke about her being more than friends with buddy Taylor Swift. Kyle Sandilands had asked the New Zealand singer about the friendship, saying “I see you guys’ pictures everywhere are you guys together now?” He continued: “Not together as in lesbians, I’m not talking about ‘Ellen together’ I’m talking about, like you guys are friendly right?” The gay-friendly Kiwi quickly hit back with “What do you mean you’re not talking about ‘Ellen together’, is there something wrong with lesbians?” Sandilands responded: “Oh my god no, I would love that! Are you going to confirm now you’re in a lesbian relationship with her?” This left the annoyed Lorde responding simply with “Don’t even try it.” Dan News has audio of the exchange here Sandilands is a divisive shock jock who has a history of making jokes about everything from Down syndrome to people’s weight and gender.
