In November David Bowie celebrated Tilda Swinton’s 53rd birthday at NY’s Museum of Modern Art benefit. Lorde appeared in the above photo with Bowie and Tilda and now we have her story about meeting David Bowie thanks to Rookie Mag:

Have you had moments of just like, “Whoa, my life has come full circle”?

Definitely. I don’t want to do the weird name-dropping thing but like–

Do it.

Meeting David Bowie was like that. To have someone like that tell you that listening to you felt like listening to tomorrow.

OH MY GOD.

I was like…I could creatively die and just be happy forever. I never tell anyone about that experience, because it meant so much to me, and I feel like it would be dulled or something if I always talked about it in magazines or whatever. It’s my special thing.

Do you want us to not include it in this?

Oh, I mean, it’s OK. It was super cute, though—for some reason we were holding hands and just staring into each other’s eyes and talking, and I was like, This is David Bowie’s hand, what am I doing? It was insane. A beautiful moment.
