We should note Lorde and Justin Warren never confirmed being in a relationship, so their breakup is just speculation at this time. Lorde has also never expanded on any possible relationship angst. It’s possible that Lorde isn’t ready to open up further, if at all, about her love life.
However, while promoting her album, “Melodrama” with the New York Times, Lorde revealed details about her breakup with James Lowe. “After your heart is broken, music enters you on a new level,” Lorde shared during the interview (via Marie Claire). “You suddenly find yourself crying when ‘Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart’ comes on.” She continued, “It was my first major heartbreak.”
Lorde also opened up about her recent physical challenges she’s been experiencing. “My gut isn’t working properly, my skin is worse than ever, I’ve gotten sick half a dozen times,” wrote Lorde at the time (via Tumblr). “I realized earlier this year that listening to my body is hard for me, it’s something I never really learned how to do. I’ve been trying to teach myself that this year, but it’s … made me fully aware of all the times I ignored it or didn’t give it what it needed, shamed it for a fight or flight response, took a handful of pills and pushed through.”
