Lorde Makes Candid Comments About Her Gender Identity And Feeling Somewhere 'In The Middle'

Lorde at the Met Gala at the beginning of this monthLorde has spoken candidly about her changing feelings towards her gender identity.Earlier this month, the What Was That singer was among the guests at this year’s Met Gala, and made an interesting comment about her outfit while speaking to Vogue on the red carpet.Describing the ensemble as “something of an Easter egg”, she said: “More will be revealed. But I just love the [outfit’s] open back. To me, it really represents where I’m at gender-wise. I feel like a man and a woman.”"This is my creation. it's something of an easter egg, more will be revealed, but I just love the open back, to me it really represents where I'm at gender wise. I feel like a man AND a woman"— Lorde talking to Emma Chamberlain at the Met Galapic.twitter.com/uw77Wr0EGi— Lorde Updates 🧬⛓️ (@LordeUpdatesBR) May 6, 2025Lorde elaborated more on this during an interview in Rolling Stone magazine published on Thursday.Describing herself as “in the middle gender-wise”, she revealed that her friend, fellow singer Chappell Roan, recently asked her whether this meant she identifies as non-binary.“I was like, ‘I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man’,” she explained. “I know that’s not a very satisfying answer, but there’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.”Reflecting on the current hardships faced by transgender and other gender non-conforming people, Lorde added: “I don’t think that [my identity] is radical, to be honest. I see these incredibly brave young people, and it’s complicated.“Making the expression privately is one thing, but I want to make very clear that I’m not trying to take any space from anyone who has more on the line than me. Because I’m, comparatively, in a very safe place as a wealthy, cis, white woman.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by Rolling Stone (@rollingstone)After making a brief return to the music scene with the Charli XCX collaboration Girl, So Confusing last year, in which the two singers reflected on their perceived rivalry, Lorde is now gearing up for the release of her fourth album Virgin, trailed by the recent hit What Was That.Per Rolling Stone, Virgin’s opening song sees Lorde once again contemplating her gender identity, including one line on which she sings: “Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man.”The collection also contains another song called Man Of The Year, which came about as Lorde tried to envisage a version of herself “that was fully representative of how [her] gender felt in that moment”.Help and support: The Gender Trust supports anyone affected by gender identity | 01527 894 838Mermaids offers information, support, friendship and shared experiences for young people with gender identity issues | 0208 1234819LGBT Youth Scotland is the largest youth and community-based organisation for LGBT people in Scotland.
