Lorde - who scooped the International Video of the Year gong at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday (15.06.14) - recently admitted she was the quietest member of her "insane" family.
The New Zealander said: "We're one of the louder, more insane families. We're all super creative and impulsive.
"It's been a good environment to learn how to speak your mind, you know? And be feisty. And unapologetic.
"But weirdly, I'm the quietest member of my family. It took me a while to be able to find a voice in terms of being able to talk to people."
