Since Tyler, The Creator instagrammed a photo of Lorde and her boyfriend on the beach, there has been a tirade of abuse for the New Zealand singer.
Lorde and her photographer boyfriend, James Lowe have been subject to vile and racist abuse from Twitter users:
Peeta Mellark: "your boyfriend can suck my doesnt exist dick he's so damn ugly ew you couldnt find better?"
Yourmother: "Oh wait, your boyfriend is 7 years different from you 0_0... Oh hell no, Lorde. You'd scored a scrawny asian sugardaddy."
dxisychainzayn: "Lorde: "All of One Direction are ugly."Come back to us when your boyfriend doesn't look like PSY gone wrong."
Stripper: "lorde can choke on her boyfriend's cock...oh but he doesn't have a cock big enough for that"

Lorde is yet to respond to the abuse, but the matter of fact is she never even called Justin Bieber or One Direction ugly in the first place. She actually called 1D 'overrated' and added: "I feel like the influences that are there in the industry for people my age, like Justin Bieber or whatever, are just not a very real depiction of what it's like to be a young person."
