Lorde's fans cannot call themselves "disciples." It is not because some copyright has been violated, but because the young singer, 17, does not want her fans to hold the banner of being her "disciples."

New Zealand's singer and song-writer is not comfortable when her fans call themselves her "disciples." In an interview to Look magazine, Lorde revealed that she finds it "grating" when stars pick "pun centric" names for fans, putting everyone in one group.

"I find it grating to lump everyone into a really awkward, pun-centric name. People joke about it on Twitter, 'You should call us The Disciples'. Never!" the singer said, as quoted by Digital Spy.

Lorde also said that she stops her fans from using "Disciples." "I have discouraged it. I've tweeted multiple times, 'No fan name, I do not condone this'."

The actress, however, does not mind if someone calls her a pop-star and is not offended. "I wouldn't take offence! People think pop's filthy and shameful. I love pop music! I don't think it's right to s**t on a genre just because some stuff about it isn't perfect."

She called pop "really powerful," adding that "if I'm a popstar then I'll be that to the best of my ability."

Lorde shot-up to fame with her first album "Royals," becoming the first New Zealander to reach the top of US charts. Media is predicting that Lorde will take home two awards at the upcoming Grammy awards. Paul Grein, a veteran analyst of Grammy awards, has forecasted that Lorde will win for both record and song.

He said to USA Today: "Lorde is poised for a marquee two-fer. Royals is a classy record that has some of the adult-alternative appeal of Adele's Rolling in the Deep, which won in both categories two years ago."

Tom O'Neil, editor of awards site Gold Derby, said to USA Today that Lorde's album "is in current airplay and has a lot of heat. There's industry respect for the song. Lorde's 17, and voters like to crown newcomers."
