Lorde Sang The ‘I Am Lorde’ Song From ‘South Park’ And It Was Perfect

If we didn’t already think Lorde was the coolest girl in music (have you not seen our embarrassingly gushy articles on the teen?), the 17-year-old singer’s game acceptance of her “South Park” parody would have convinced us.

The latest evidence of her awesomeness? Ella sang the “I Am Lorde Ya Ya Ya” song from the first infamous episode during an interview. She shared the excerpt via a tweet this past weekend.

If you were hiding from the world of pop culture these past few weeks, Lorde appeared in two — count ‘em, two! — “South Park” episodes. In the first, the kids try to put together a charity concert featuring Lorde — and then there’s some stuff about gluten — only to find out that Lorde is just Stan’s dad in disguise. When she reappears in the next episode, we discover that Randy Marsh wasn’t just dressing up as Lorde — he is Lorde.

Lorde didn’t really speak up about the episodes until the second one had aired, posting clips from “her” second appearance to Instagram and applauding the show’s message of transgender acceptance. Coolest girl in the music world? We think yes.

this is actually surprisingly cute – and from what i can tell also has a message of transgender acceptance (i’m still very new with this type of humour so i’m not sure if was actually genuine but it seemed so to me)
