WhenCharli XCXdropped her sixth studio album,Brat, on June 7, the internet was immediately set ablaze.
More bewildering still, Lordeactually responded to the song.
The collaboration opened up a Pandoras Box of sorts.
Lorde and Charli XCX at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2014.
Had Lorde owed Charli an explanation for their dynamic?
And how much personal information does an artist owe the public?
Has this beefif thats even what it wasbeen one big marketing plan from the jump?

Hannah Jackson:Emma, as we know, it is officially a Brat Girl Summer.
Id love to know your favorite song on the album.

HJ:For far less esoteric reasons, I cannot stop bumpingGuessfrom the extended album.
The Dare, who has an impressive burgeoning music career of his own.
Or do those things have to be mutually exclusive?
ButBrathas given me an infusion of feral energy that, frankly, I didnt know I had in me.
What I loved so much about the album is that Charli XCX refuses to dull her intellect.
The Girl, so confusing remix raises that feeling to the nth degree.
Emma, as we both know, theVogueSlack was goingoffthis morning about the remix.
What do you think about it?
Even when artists release songs about subjects we can elucidate, they tend not to outright confirm them.
So to have Lorde not only confirm, but also respond, was major.
What do you make of that?
Do you think artists owe us the specifics of whats going on in their lives?
Did Lorde owe that to Charli as a friend?
HJ:Im with you!
Id bet that these were still Charlis authentic feelings, and Lordes response seems just as sincere.
Manufactured or not, Im extremely here for it!
