Directioners? No. Beliebers? Move aside. Smilers, Lovatics, the Britney Army, Rihanna Navy, Katy Cats and Little Monsters can all be dismissed. "Royals" singer Lorde is not interested in your punny fan army names.
In a new interview with Look (via NME), Lorde reaffirmed her lack of desire to join the modern pop music trend and allow her fans to give themselves a nickname.
"I find it grating to lump everyone into a really awkward, pun-centric name. People joke about it on Twitter, 'You should call us The Disciples. Never! I have discouraged it. I've tweeted multiple times, 'No fan name, I do not condone this,'" Lorde told the magazine.
And Lorde is a woman of her word. According to MTV News, all the way in April, before "Royals" made Lorde a No. 1 Billboard artist, she tweeted that she had no interest in naming her fans.
"I will NEVER name my fans, promise.. that s--- is icky," she tweeted on April 1.
But, just in case Lorde changes her mind (or just doesn't like The Disciples moniker), Music Times has come up with a few fan army suggestions for the 17-year-old pop star:
Lorde's Horde
The Subjects
Worshippers
The Queen Bees
Lorde's Heroines
The Lorde "Team"
Lorde of the Rings
You're welcome.
