Let's make this birthday one to remember.

28 years old (Born on November 07, 1996)

Happy birthday, Lorde! May your day be filled with more sparkle than the Grammy nominations you snagged for "Royals." Ever since The Love Club EP dropped in November 2012, you've been ruling our playlists like musical royalty—proving that diamonds aren't always necessary to shine bright.

From redefining pop music standards to making us all secretly wish we could dance as freely and fearlessly as you do on stage, you're truly one-of-a-kind. Here's hoping this year brings even more chart-topping hits and fewer awkward moments explaining lyrics at family dinners. Keep being royally awesome—we'll keep bowing down!
