Lorde Reflects on Body Image Struggles & Eating Improperly ‘For Weeks' Ahead of the 2021 Met Gala
This year's Met Gala was a very different experience for Lorde than the last time she attended the event in 2021. In a vulnerable voice note sent to fans Tuesday night (May 6), the pop star opened up about having overcome her issues with body image in the four years since she last walked the Metropolitan Museum of Art red carpet, revealing that last time she was there, she'd unhealthily restricted her eating for weeks in preparation.

'I didn't eat properly for weeks thinking about my little tummy on that carpet.' This year, Lorde attended once again, sporting a chic slate Thom Browne look that matched the 2025 theme of 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' Returning to the Met four years later, the singer said it was 'moving' to be back in the same place with an entirely new mindset regarding her body. 'I was there last night fully in myself, and I didn't have to not eat, I didn't have to go to the gym a million times,' she told her fans. 'I was just fully in myself. Quite beautiful.' Lorde has slowly been sharing more and more about her struggles with eating and body image in the lead-up to her new album Virgin, which arrives June 27. On lead single 'What Was That,' released in April, she sings, 'I wear smoke like a wedding veil/ Make a meal I won't eat.' In a recent interview with Document Journal, the New Zealand native elaborated on the lyric: 'I had made my body very small, because I thought that that was what you did as a woman and a woman on display … I thought, 'I'm small. This will communicate to people that I'm taking my position seriously.'' Now, Lorde says she feels fully 'embodied,' meaning this year's Met — which took place one day prior to her voice note — was a much better experience. 'It was definitely my favorite Met,' she said in her message before remarking, 'It's really a reality check of where you're at in relation to, you know, your own public image and how you feel in your body, how you feel among your peers and how you feel in culture and all that sort of stuff.' One moment from Monday night (May 5) that did make her 'so cringed out' at herself, though, was when she commented that her dress was an 'Easter egg' in an interview with Vogue correspondent Emma Chamberlain, leading fans to believe the singer was teasing something musical through her attire. 'More will be revealed,' she'd added during the red-carpet chat. 'To me it really represents where I'm at gender-wise. I feel like a man and a woman, kind of vibe.' But in her voice note, Lorde clarified, 'Just as it was leaving my mouth, I was like, 'What are you talking about? No, it's not [an Easter egg]. The language of Easter eggs, I love it as a concept … [but] for what I was referring to, it was not my vibe,' she said. 'Please accept me feeling like a loser, I'm sure you don't care at all.'

Piers Morgan Explains Why Ye Cut Their Interview Short: ‘He Went Into a Great Theatrical Strop'
Ye (formerly Kanye West) stormed off the set of a contentious interview with Piers Morgan on Tuesday (May 6), and the Uncensored host has provided some context about why Yeezy pulled the plug on the combative, short-lived chat. Morgan hopped on X on Wednesday (May 7), where he claimed that West and his team were giving him the run around leading up to the interview. 'He was costing us time and money,' Morgan said. 'And my patience was almost running out.'

'I did talk to him for about three minutes,' Morgan said. 'When I asked him how he was, he pointed to the backdrop behind him. Actually a pleasant backdrop, this time of Mallorca, which implied he was in a great place. I said, 'You seem happy and content. Which is a direct contrast to what is going on with you on social media.'' Morgan then got West's follower count on X wrong, which upset the rapper. The host said Ye had 32 million followers when, in actuality, Ye has compiled just over 33.3 million followers as of press time. 'At that point, he went into a great theatrical strop. It's not 32 million — it's 33 million,' Morgan recalled. The interview came to a halt as Ye got up and left, leaving Sneako to deal with a frustrated Piers Morgan. 'You're not gonna take inches off my di–, bro.' the Chicago native said before he left the interview. 'I'm a gift, bro. Why do all you people in media act like you haven't played my songs at your weddings, or graduations or at funerals or when your child was born?' He continued: 'You take someone like that's living, like a [John] Lennon or a Michael Jackson. That nuance right there is idiotic. It just shows the hate that you put out for people that put out love. There's so much love in the art that I put out. This is what you get for now, we can circle back when you can count.' Morgan referred to Ye as a 'sniveling coward' and proceeded to pepper Sneako with questions about Yeezy's recent tirades on X that have included antisemitic remarks and praise for the likes of Hitler and Diddy.
