Lorde has been in the big league for a while now, ever since her song "Royals" shattered records. But it might have been her recent win at the Grammys that cemented her as a celebrity par excellence. And Lorde is not happy.
The 17-year-old took to Twitter Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 28) to voice her disdain for the paparazzi, fame and all the "frightening" attention she's been getting.
What do you think, is it a small price to pay for success or does Lorde have a point? Sound off in the comments.

nz media almost pushed over myself and my family at the airport this morning in order to get their shots. bit of a sad welcome if i'm honest
— Lorde (@lordemusic) January 28, 2014i understand that people of note are supposedly fair game for everyone to photograph and film but that doesn't make it acceptable
— Lorde (@lordemusic) January 28, 2014i'm beginning to get used to my image as a public commodity, and the fact that I'm getting used to it frightens me
— Lorde (@lordemusic) January 28, 2014there is a difference between attn from fans, which i love, and the constant, often lecherous gaze that i'm subjected to in this industry
— Lorde (@lordemusic) January 28, 2014i know that success comes with a price tag. it just sucks when you see that in your tiny home country where you previously felt safe.
