The unusual appearance of the New Zealand singer Lorde (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor) has become the subject of many rumors about her "real" age. Some say the young star is over 40, although she was only 17 when her debut album came out. This is also confirmed by her birth certificate, stating that she was born on November 7, 1996. Sadly, even this evidence is still not convincing enough for some people.
