NewsMay, 15 Lorde candidly discusses eating disorder battle and her gender
Lorde has candidly opened up about battling an eating disorder and also discussed her approach to gender. The 28-year-old singer from New Zealand has shed further light on battling an eating disorder, which she previously opened up about in an interview for Document Journal published earlier this month. Speaking to Rolling Stone this week, the star revealed that following the pandemic she became fixated with counting calories, monitoring her protein intake and starving herself. She battled the condition during her Solar Power Tour of 2022 and 2023, and explained that she experienced a contrast of emotions on and off stage, recounting, "I don't know how those two things can be true. "That I'm having this really amazing, rich experience of playing the shows and meeting these kids, and (yet) I'm also looking at the pictures afterward and feeling deep loathing at the sight of my beautiful, tiny tummy, thinking it was so unforgivable what I had allowed it to become." She went on to explain that she realised that by "cutting the chord" of controlling what she ate and how she viewed her body left her free to embrace creativity once again. In the same interview, she was questioned over lyrics in a song from her forthcoming album which suggest there are some days that she feels male, rather than female. The What Was That singer revealed, "(Chappell Roan) asked me this. She was like, 'So, are you nonbinary now?' And I was like, 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man.' "I know that's not a very satisfying answer, but there's a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up." The star went on to describe herself as being "in the middle gender-wise". Lorde's new album, titled Virgin, is set for release on 27 June.
