Lorde not part of Taylor Swift’s squad

Lorde says she is not part of Taylor Swift’s squad.
Although the 20-year-old star is close friends with ‘Shake It Off’ singer Taylor, she insisted that she doesn’t have many other celebrity friends and prefers a more low-key lifestyle.
Speaking to ‘Sunrise’ co-host David Koch, she said: "I don’t hang out with these people at all."
And when Koch replied, "But hang-on, you’re part of Taylor’s squad, all the magazines tell us," Lorde simply groaned.
She added: "You know, you make friends in different places, but I think for the most part I’m not like, calling my idols for advice necessarily."
Taylor’s squad includes stars including Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid and while Lorde has often gushed about how close she and Taylor are, she doesn’t appear interested having a large number of celebrity pals.
And Lorde admitted in a separate interview, that she has no interest in fame.
Speaking on Australia’s ‘Today’ show, she said that after her success at the Grammys: "I really withdrew myself from being a public person and went home.’
Meanwhile, Lorde previously admitted she "sucks" at being famous.
She said: "When it was happening, I was quite overwhelmed by it. But that was a long time ago. If anything, I’ve slowly been getting less famous since ‘Royals’ was really big. Which is totally cool for me … I suck at being famous. And that’s fine …
"It rocked my foundations and could have f***ed me [when I first found fame], you know? I remember being made aware of my looks and my body in a way that I had never been. I remember all these kids online, I think I beat their favourite people to Number One, and they were like, ‘F**k her, she’s got really far-apart eyes’.
"I remember being like, ‘Whoa! How did I get all this way without knowing I had far-apart eyes?’ Just weird s**t like that. But I was able to return to my family and shelter against that and get to where I am now. I feel so comfortable in myself."
