Lorde looked absolutely gorgeous in her bejeweled Dolce & Gabbana dress while posing for the cover of Fashion magazine's May 2014 cover.

The "Royals" singer whose boyfriend James Lowe, 24, recently opened up about what it is like dating an international superstar shared her views on today's world.

According to Just Jared, the "Team" artist spoke about the minds of kids today. She confessed, "I think young people have changed the way we view pop culture...we now have this discerning power.

"We all have Tumblers, we curate imagery every day. We can sniff out bullsh*t faster."

The 17-year-old also voiced her opinion on industry stereotypes. She explained, "I'm drawn to women who aren't painted in history as sweet figures.

"Patti Smith was prickly. She was frustrated. She didn't take people's sh*t. There's no better music idol for young women, because there is a lot of pressure for us to be really positive all the time.

"Every photo shoot I do, I get asked for big smiles, and I shouldn't have to be that way."

In the past Lorde, whose is real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor has been called the Sylvia Plath of pop music.

A comment that the Grammy Award singer does not think she deserves. She explained, "Never for a second would I put myself beside a genius like Sylvia Plath!

"I may have specific tastes but I'm not trying to be avant-garde with my approach or my music. I like indie [rock], pop and literature. I like to play with them but that doesn't make me a genius."
