It may have taken her a while, but Selena Gomez has finally responded to comments made by Pop ‘Royal’ Lorde, who hit out at the star in an interview available to read here.
Adding fuel to the criticism that already surrounds Selena and her involvement- or lack of it- in crafting her own messages, Lorde‘s estimation of Selena’s influence on young girls saw the star forced to address her during an interview with Hot 99.5.
What the ‘Come & Get It’ singer had to say for herself?

SIT DOWN CHOLA! Neither you or lorde opinion matters…
Mad cause Selena didn’t need to take off her clothes for a multi platinum top 10 hit or to sell out a worldwide arena tour.
Mad that Stars Dance will never get a gold plaque?
That Rihanna promo though…lol
I’m dying at this miley stan tho selena or lorde doesn’t need to undress themselves sell their vages to get a hit unlike miss Fake miley trying to be black and ish gorl bye! Anyway let lordie know selena
I didn’t know she was that articulate.
Lorde was right. It wouldn’t be bad if Selena wrote the song because she has a right to be objectified by men if she wants to. The problem is that she doesn’t have any control of her music and is literally spreading a message that’s unhealthy for her audience, who are little kids.
She has control over her music though. She co-wrote all the bonus tracks for Stars Dance and was in control of the album’s direction and sound. She wasn’t in her previous albums cause she would record songs on her days off from acting. People don’t get that music is a hobby for her and her main focus is acting.
Selena is such a sweetheart, but she does need to write more.
Does Ariana write? No shade, just asking.
Selena is cute, but she reminds me too much of rihanna, a talentless drone manufactured by the wealth of a top Noche label

..
No lies detected.
You’re a real artist if Disney signs your checks. Demi Selena and Miley please have a seat.
Who is she? I know who Lorde is but this other girl, I’ve never heard of her.
someone who released an album ealier this year that is 100x better than Teenage Dream.
does that answer your question?
Lmao, you mean Teenage Dream which sold 5.8 million copies WW and spawned 5 #1s? How did edge of glory fare sis?
what was Teenage Dream’s first week sales?
i can tell you that it didnt go platinum in its debut week, but BTW did.
that is the ultimate KIIIIII sis
Teenage Dream didn’t have to sell for $0.99 but your fav sold her floppy disc for a third world discount. She might as well have given that s***** disc for free, oh wait, she kind of did with that phone contract thing didn’t she?
when will katy sell 1.18m in one week? NEVER…..
AINT THAT THE REASON THAT YOU REALLY MAD?
When will Caca have another #1 hit? When?
When will Britney have another #1? when?
You knew about her when you posted your review of Stars Dance. #clocked
why are people giving this Lorde teenager so much attention? she is exactly like Amanda Bynes
Lmao now sis, you and I both know the new Amanda Bynes wannabe is that transexual you Stan for.
I bet you cannot wait to give a*** for penus to chart.
you beat me to it though sis, Work b**** is free falling like a brick on the charts, yet Applause is still in the top ten.
unfortunately for you giving a*** didnt help Work b****. if that is not the kiiiiiii of the week i dont know what is sis 😀 😀
I didn’t have to give a***, not when Katy’s two songs are slaying your fav with no promo, and even when you guys are giving free blowjobs. How’s that throat infection sis?
where is work b**** on the charts though?
Appluase is still in the top ten, WHERE IS WORK B****?????????????
Who and Who?
lol
She didn’t tear you down-She spoke the truth. Your fan base is full of 15- aged kids. The message you are sending to your audience is that you have become a s** kitten-no different from miley,only that you are softer. If she was talking mad s*** and trying to start beef-that would be tearing you down. Get it together girl…
lol it really took her all this time to come up with that gem of wisdom?
girl is DENSE
When will Caca finally cut off his penis? When?
Caca sold 1.2 million by selling her s***** disc for $0.99, Katy made more with just Roar which retailed at $1.29, Here’s your seat _/
Lorde is beyond overrated. Selena is such a non factor. #Next
When will Riherpes go for her S** test? when?
The Born This Way Ball shits on ANY tour Katy ever did
@cake What just like Roar shitted on Applause?
And yet your fav went bankrupt on her first tour. Katy would never.
And yet The Born This Way Ball was the second highest grossing tour for 2012,
WHEN WILL KATY??????????
Selena didn’t lie though about feminism. Borde needs to put her Intro To Women’s Studies book down because she is making herself look like a dumbass. People like her are why no one likes feminists.
Everyone has a right to give their opinion but Lorde is to new to the industry to be analyzing the actions of other artists. She really needs to just worry about herself.
Two irrelevant chicks going at it. Neither of them are really doing anything life changing for the music scene at this point. But, Selena does have a point. If you’re a feminist, you unite with other females to run the world. Lorde is doing exactly what she stands against, bringing another woman down. So, men can’t do it but women who are “feminists” can and it’s okay? No. Girl bye. Shut up and sing. Or do what you can at least.
Poor child doesn’t know what feminism is considering she needed Justin Bieber to make her music career, and even that didn’t work out for her.
If you telling a man when he’s ready to come and get it then you’re basically saying you’ll be waiting because you ain’t going anywhere.
Selena’s most successful album to date was released back when Justin was still on YouTube. Tried it.
Ugh, so many people have no clue what feminism is about on these boards.
Clueless. Feminism is not about the blind support of women by other women (or men, since they can be feminist too). Feminism involves criticism. It does not involve unconditional support because you both share the same s** organs. UGH!!!!
Anyway, Lorde gave an opinion. No one was torn down.
THANK YOU!
Woo chile I can breath thanking my stars someone gets it!
These people were depressing the hell out of me.
There are a few of us on this site who get it. PLEASE don’t leave! LOL!
someone messed up and confused this b****. Selena baby, artist- you are not… (barely bright) Pop star- you are…. you, Bieber and Swifty CANNOT FATHOM ARTISTRY UNTIL THE DAYS EACH OF YOU CREATE YOUR OWN MUSIC INSTEAD OF HAND PICKING BEATS & LYRICS FROM YOUR LABEL STAFF…..
and honestly, you can barely sing or dance to being with so you might as well just STAPH!
Taylor and Bieber write their own songs dumb b****. Taylor is known most for her songwriting.
But Taylor Swift actually writes the majority of her music about her various relationships though…
TGJ if you’re going to report on Selena please do the research. She co-wrote all the bonus tracks off Stars Dance and has co-wrote songs off her previous albums. She was in complete control of the sound and direction of Stars Dance. Everyone knows acting comes before music which is why she doesn’t write most of her material. Critics understand which is why there is no “criticism” about her involvement in music as you claim.
I’m glad Selena defended herself against Slorde’s confused idea of feminism. She also replaced the Royals cover on her tour for Katy Perry’s Roar, a much better song tbh. She is a class act.
Lorde’s feminism is in no way “confused’ because she stated why Selena’s “Come & Get It” may be problematic. In fact, Lorde’s critique of that song is very much in line with feminist ethics. I think you, and Selena, may not know what feminism is. I don’t say that to mean.
By the way, calling Lorde “Slorde” does very little to bring sympathy to Selena. In fact, it makes your critique of Lorde’s “feminism” even less convincing. Think about it.
This is so stupid, in the original interview Lorde said that she said she loved the song Come and get It, however she just said that she couldn’t stand its message, especially since it was being marketed at young girls. And if people had bothered to listen to the original interview that would of seen that, and that she also used Robin Thicke as an example. She concluding that in most instances with pop music at the moment, you have to put aside any problems you have lyrically and just enjoy the music on a sonic level, because sexism and anti-feminism is common place in the music industry at the moment. So in no way was she tearing down Selena, but rather critiquing the music industry at large.
Secondly i am not sure that Selena fully understands the concepts of feminism, just because Lorde is a female does not mean that it is anti-feminist to critique the message being given in a song by a female artist. Because that would be a double standard which is exactly what feminism is trying to prevent.
Finally, someone who posts on TGJ who understands what feminism is. Thank you!
Oh and i love the comment Selena Co-wrote all of the bonus tracks in her album. Its basically saying that the songs Selena writes were not good enough to make the initial album cut.
Isn’t that hilarious?! Like the fact that co-wrote her bonus tracks somehow makes her an artist.
Oh, I forgot. According to @SELENATOR, music is only something she does part-time. Uh yeah, we can tell.
