It's the week in between Coachella weekends, and while some bands descended on Pomona, Orange County and Los Angeles as part of Golden Voice's “Localchella,” others opted to retreat to Las Vegas and perform at The Cosmopolitan's Boulevard Pool and Chelsea theater as part of the resort's Valley to Vegas Spring Series. Acts like Lana Del Rey, Haim, and Foster the People embarked on Sin City this week, and we were there to catch Lorde's always electrifying set.
As a strong, young female herself, Lorde has began a revolution of teenage feminists, and many of these girls attended the Boulevard Pool concert on Wednesday night. But how do her tastes and ideals compare to female fans her age? We were able to catch up with some of them in the crowd during Lorde's Vegas show to discuss matters from David Guetta to why they are okay without men in their lives. Check out our favorite profiles below.
