Lorde Just Redefined Gender Identity in the Most Iconic Way — And Fans Are Losing It

May 18, 2025

orde’s stepping into her most personal era yet — and she’s not holding back. The 28-year-old singer just spilled major tea in a new Rolling Stone interview, where she got real about her gender identity, healing, heartbreak, and the emotional journey behind her upcoming fourth album, Virgin (dropping June 27 — mark it 👀).

🧬 “MY GENDER GOT WAY MORE EXPANSIVE”

Lorde said what a lot of people feel but don’t always say out loud: gender can be fluid, and it doesn’t always fit into neat little boxes.

“My gender got way more expansive when I gave my body more room,” she shared, reflecting on her growth between Solar Power and Virgin.

Yup. She’s been doing the inner work — from psychedelic therapy to unlearning toxic body stuff to navigating the fallout of a big breakup. And it shows.

In Virgin’s opening track, she sings:
🗣️ “Some days I’m a woman / Some days I’m a man.”
Which led her friend and fellow alt-pop queen Chappell Roan to straight up ask: “So, are you nonbinary now?”

Lorde’s response?

“I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.”
“I know that’s not a very satisfying answer, but there’s a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.”

Honestly? Real. Relatable. Refreshing.

🎧 VIRGIN ISN’T JUST AN ALBUM — IT’S A WHOLE SPIRITUAL RESET

In a recent email to fans, Lorde described Virgin as a raw expression of her femininity — but not just in a soft, pink, butterflies kind of way. We’re talking primal, elegant, spiritual, masc, openhearted — all at once.

“I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity,” she wrote.
“RAW, PRIMAL, INNOCENT, ELEGANT, OPENHEARTED, SPIRITUAL, MASC.”

This isn’t Melodrama 2.0 or Solar Power in a flower crown. This is the grown, messy, soul-searching version of Lorde — and tbh, it sounds like exactly what 2025 needs.

🚨 NO MIAMI DATE…YET

Yes, Lorde’s going on a world tour after the album drops in September.
No, there’s no Miami date on the books yet 😭 — but we’re staying hopeful.

Until then, we’ll be blasting Virgin on repeat, journaling about identity, and embracing our own chaos-core gender vibes.

TL;DR:

Lorde’s new album Virgin drops June 27
She’s opening up about her expansive gender identity and resisting labels
She said: “Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man”
Tour starts in September but no Miami date (rip)

Lorde’s in her ✨healing, fluid, goddess energy✨ and we’re all invited to witness it.
