Swift and Lorde bond over shakes

How would you react if your all-time idol sent you a bouquet of flowers? What if said idol was Taylor Swift?

"She sent me some flowers, which was so nice," Lorde tells Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.

"She just sent them to my house and said, like, 'Congratulations on everything.' " The 18-year-old New Zealand Grammy-winner was fascinated: "I was like, 'God! I need to know more!' " She met and bonded with Swift over milkshakes, said Lorde, whose debut LP is titled Pure Heroine (as in hero, not as in the drug).

"We met up here in New York," Lorde says. "We had Shake Shack, which I feel like is kind of a good bonding . . . a friendship, like, bonds with those thick-[bleep] milkshakes."
