The Kiwi artist more formally known as Lorde wowed Dazed readers when she graced the cover of our Girls Rule The World issue, shot by Ryan McGinley and interviewed by Lena Dunham.

And what would you change about the life of young women today? Her answer to the last question isn't a bad manifesto at all. Watch the video below.
