In a new cover story interview with Rolling Stone, the "What Was That" singer, 28, opened up about feeling "in the middle gender-wise" rather than identifying strictly as a man or a woman and recalled once duct-taping her chest in order to express how she thought of herself in the moment.

In the most recent interview of hers with Rolling Stone on May 15, 2025, Lorde discussed a variety of things, among them her gender identity. In the interview that is going viral on social media, Lorde gave her nuanced opinion on gender fluidity and also championed the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

The 28-year-old New Zealand singer described how her gender has grown more “expansive" over the last few years ahead of her new upcoming album “Virgin."
