As her fame grows, so does the gall of her critics. Last week it was age-truthers claiming the singer is actually older than 17, this week, a blog has appeared called Old Black People Who Look Younger Than Lorde.
"I provide scientific proof that we, black people, have in fact found the fountain of youth," reads the description of the anonymous Tumblr, which compares photos of Lorde to images of the likes of Queen Nefertiti (3384), Pharrell (40) and even Frank Ocean's mother (unknown age, but as the blog notes, old enough to have a 26 year old son).

It's another somewhat cruel dig at the New Zealand singer, who since she shot to fame with 'Royals' in 2013, has been mocked for her looks, her dance moves and her boyfriend. Perhaps her critics seem to forget that at the age of 17, they weren't worth $2 million and definitely didn't have two Grammys to their name.
Lorde is set to appear at next week's BRIT Awards (February 19), to perform what is sure to be an awesome collaboration with Disclosure.
