Lorde Just Made This Girl’s Life

by Brenna Ehrlich 30 mins ago

We hate to tell you this, guys, but no matter what happened to you today — your crush told you s/he feels the same way, you won something from one of those claw machines, you cured cancer — there’s no way you had a better day than a 12 year old named Amanda.

Nope. No way. No how. Your life looks like a grey road leading to nowhere, the sucking fogs of forgotten time lapping at the edges, when compared to Miss @LongLiveLorde’s. Can you guess where this is going from her Twitter handle?

Yup, not only did Amanda’s parents surprise her with Lorde tickets — and film the whole thing, because #2014 — Lorde herself RT’d the video, writing: “just got sent this and i am teary– COOLEST GIRL EVER.”

Amanda reacted the way we all would have in this case: by sending out a barrage of borderline speaking-in-tongues tweets. Here’s our favorite.

Eff schoole, am I right? Lorde thinks this girl is the coolest — and after watching the video in question, we have to agree. We won’t give too much away, save for this choice quote: “So we’re not going to the water park?” Classic.
