Lorde Reveals Past Struggle With Eating Disorder: ‘I Felt So Hungry and So Weak’

In a Rolling Stone cover story, Lorde discussed her struggles with an eating disorder and how overcoming it helped her make her new album 'Virgin.'

Psychotherapy treatments using MDMA and psilocybin had helped her overcome the stage fright she’d been grappling since she was a kid, allowing her to form new connections to her music and fans. “That I’m having this really amazing, rich experience of playing the shows and meeting these kids, and [yet] I’m also looking at the pictures afterward and feeling deep loathing at the sight of my beautiful, tiny tummy, thinking it was so unforgivable what I had allowed it to become.” Lorde’s disordered eating continued after the Solar Power tour and into 2023, when her personal life was rocked further by a break-up with longtime partner Justin Warren.
