Lorde has responded to Iggy Azalea's claims that her Nirvana tribute at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony was "inappropriate", saying, "I had a good time. That's all that mattered."
Lorde was just one of the stars who performed at the ceremony in tribute to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994. The New Zealand singer performed 'All Apologies' alongside the remaining members of Nirvana.

Speaking to Billboard however, Azalea critcised the performance, saying: "Nothing against her, but I think when you’re doing a tribute to someone that’s dead, generally it should be the person’s peer. Lorde is not Kurt Cobain’s peer. No matter if she killed the performance or not, I just don’t think it’s appropriate."
Lorde has now responded to Azalea's comments. In an interview with Confidential, she said: "I enjoyed it. I had a good time. That's all that mattered. I've been in a position where I've said something in an interview where I've thought, 'Damn, I wish I could take that back."
She added: “I don’t know how [Iggy] is feeling about it. But anyone who’s doing well deserves respect, and I respect what she’s doing.”
Lorde is currently preparing to tour Australia, where she will be performing the dates she was forced to cancel in April due to illness.
