Change of Heart: Lorde Compliments Selena Gomez's Cover for 'Royals'

After dissing Selena Gomez for her song "Come & Get It," the "Royals" singer might have had a change of heart. In her interview with the Rolling Stone, Lorde opens up about "running her mouth" and Selena Gomez's cover on her Billboard top one song. Here's all the New Zealand native had to say.

Not all "Selenators" are pleased with Lorde after her diss at the "Come & Get It" singer. Just weeks after being in the limelight for her music, Lorde decided to make a few enemies with her countless comments of which included a jab at Selena Gomez.

"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," stated Lorde.

Rather than feel the least bit apologetic for her statements, Lorde stood by her words.

"I have pretty strong morals and opinions being in pop music, and I can't help but express those, which I think people appreciate. I mean, I don't think I say anything that isn't backed up. Most of the time I will stand by things that I've said," stated Lorde in an interview with MTV News.

However, it appears as if Lorde has had a change of heart. In an interview with the Rolling Stone, Lorde talks about "running her mouth" a lot but not "regretting" what she said.

"That's the one time I didn't censor myself very well. I don't regret it at all, but the wrath of a huge fan base is never a walk in the park," stated Lorde.

Once again, Lorde mentioned Selena in her interview but this time praising Gomez for her "cool" cover of her song, "Royals."

"I thought it was cool. I liked the wind machine. And she did something interesting with the chords," stated Lorde.

On the other hand, Selena Gomez has a few words to say for Lorde after her "Come & Get It" diss.

"There's 2 different kinds of criticism. There's the people that hide behind a computer and want to say endless amount of things but never say it to your face, and then obviously there are the vocal ones. I appreciate everybody's opinion, especially because I've covered her music lots of times," stated Gomez.

"I think she is super talented and I think it's awesome. But I think at the same time that feminism and that specific thing is very sensitive because in my opinion it's not feminism if you're tearing down another artist. So that's the only thing that I feel but you know, she's young, she's got so much talent, she's gonna take over, she gets it, so I don't take it to heart," continued Selena Gomez.
