Lorde's boyfriend has spoken out about the singer's accomplishments, saying that he 'couldn't be prouder' of all that she has achieved.
The 'Royals' 17-year-old superstar's other half, Auckland photographer James K Lowe was writing on his Ono Field blog, 'Everybody Returns Someday,' about how his life has changed since Lorde became a world-conquering tour-de-force.
"Since originally sitting down to write this post, Ella has become a two-time Grammy winner," he wrote. "She has taken home a Brit too. Currently she is on the opposite side of the world on tour. As much as I miss her, I couldn’t be prouder of what she has achieved so far.
If you are lucky enough to attend one of her shows on this current tour, you’ll experience more than just her voice."
The 24-year-old photographer then quoted 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto when discussing their battles with the paparazzi: "Fame doesn’t change you, it changes everyone around you. While I’m not the centre of attention here (and f—k, the times I have, it’s never been fun), I do become aware of the people around me and their transparency.
"They fail to hide it. I’ve experienced being a target of the tabloids, finding moments I thought I was in safe hands splattered all over the internet, being pushed and shoved, or watching others get pushed and shoved by paparazzi just to get what they think they’re entitled to."
Ending his post with a final tribute to Lorde, he added: "For all of this I have to thank the one I look up to the most. Who I admire the most. Who still fills the little voids I try to avoid."
Meanwhile, Lorde has announced a slew of US and European shows throughout the summer - with UK dates expected to be announced shortly. She is also rumoured for Glastonbury.
