Hilarious: Watch Lorde’s ‘Auto Tune Free’ Grammy Performance

January 28, 2014

Sure, 17 year-old Kiwi chanteuse Lorde may have won two Grammys and stolen thunder from an army of industry props as she claimed her Song of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance awards, but she’s got a dirty secret. Kind of.

Watch below as YouTube user John Swan puts a spin on Lorde’s Grammy performance of her smash hit “Royals,” featuring some… uh.. enhanced vocals.

Obviously, this is a joke. But it’s downright pants-pissing hilarious, on some Creed Shreds level.
