Lorde might not be about the “royal” life (preferring, instead, to spend her days in a nondescript 24-hours diner) but she does know how to treat fans like a Queen Bee.
During a smoothie run at Liquiteria in NYC, the 20-year-old singer met a cashier who was a fan of hers and she later extended a personal invite to attend the Governors Ball music festival, on her, via a Twitter DM because dreams really do come true.
The cashier, who initially tweeted about her first celebrity run-in on the clock along with a video of Lorde drinking her smoothie, took to Twitter again to share her disbelief at the invite, captioning a screen grab of the DM with “woke up trying to figure out if last was a dream or real life.”
She’ll be able to see her dreams become a reality when she heads to Governor’s Ball this weekend.
See their full interactions below.
