Lorde has revealed that she has been prevented from turning into a diva by her mother.
The singer/songwriter has had a very successful couple of years, since the release of her debut album Pure Heroine last year. The record was met well critically and went on to perform well around the world.
Lorde’s star has continued to rise into 2014, but she says that her mom has kept her feet firmly on the ground and has not let her get carried away with the success that she has enjoyed.
Speaking to TimeOut Magazine, Lorde said: "I live at home, in my childhood bedroom. I travel with my mum and if I were to ever say anything a little bit diva-esque, she'd knock it right down."
Lorde may be a rising global star and have tasted success around the world but she has admitted that staying in touch with her friends in her native Auckland, New Zealand is something that is important to her.
She continued: "It's important to me that I'm still in touch with my teenage life, even if what I'm doing every day may not be strictly teenage. So the second I get home I'm calling my friends. I love being young and I want to retain that for as long as possible, even if I am like an old lady and working all the time.
"My friends all tease me. We'll go out and get food, and without fail one of them will say, really loud, 'Oh my god! Is that Lorde?' It's so horrible, but they're great."
Lorde has written the song to The Hunger Games: Mocking jay - Part 1, which is set to hit the big screens in the UK tomorrow.
