Singer Lorde, who has come under fire after comparing her friend Taylor Swift to an "autoimmune disease", has apologised for her comments. Speaking on the difficulty of maintaining a close friendship with someone as famous as Swift, 27, Lorde told The Guardian, "It's like having a friend with very specific allergies.

After a fan mentioned how fellow Swift friend Selena Gomez might (who suffers from lupus) feel about the disease comment, Lorde apologised on Twitter, writing, " I didn't mention Taylor, but regardless, I f***** up. (sic) "The two musicians are close friends, with Swift throwing Lorde a 20th star-studded birthday party in November.
