[@SavageBunny1]

She does sound like a mix of Lorde and Taylor with her own unique twist.

[@SavageBunny1]

@Taylor Swiftie Hummm no, there's not one song that I would think she sounds like Taylor, it's just her lyrics that put you in a place in your head and you feel like your actually there, Taylor is a master at that, Olivia is not too far behind.

[@marielleandrea9387]

when I heard deja vu it reminded me of Lorde, or it sounded like it has some Lorde elements

[@thearabicmusicland]

first time I heard drivers license and its bidge, I thought that sounds like Lorde in melodrama.

[@Cause023]

Has a hint of Melodrama Lorde. I don't really hear Pure Heroine Lorde.

[@Aliyah323]

@@SavageBunny1 I think she the beat sounded like Taylor’s song safe and sound sounded like her song

[@jouaa]

I feel so old because she said she wanted to sing Grenade by Bruno Mars when she was in the FIRST grade.

[@denizece3672]

Same, I was like 17 😂

im only a few yrs older than her, and was around 5th grade during grenade but same. 💀 crazy how fast time is

[@artland6741]

Lorde is a revolution.Her pure heroine is something in itself, an album for ages, a dystopian movie, the most raw thing ever sung for teens and coming of age, I love her.🖤

[@OhLookYouFoundCristalina]

I was waiting for her to say “Paramore” Because dang does that one song sound like Misery Business

[@kimmico123]
