Lorde won two Grammy Awards this year for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. She was obviously pretty stoked.
They even hung a picture of her on the front of her high school, Takapuna Grammar School because, well, they love her too, duh?
So what was a 12-year-old Lorde like? Well, here she is playing with her then band, which was awesomely named Extreme.
Also, look how little the drummer is!
And here she is taking time to connect with the people, aka her classmates.
Yep, young Ella owes a lot to her Intermediate alma mater.
