"Inspiration often hides in the unexpected": Internet reacts as Lorde reveals 2hollis as her "true addiction"

In a recent interview during her ongoing Ultrasound World Tour, Lorde revealed that her "true addiction" these days is experimental electro-pop producer and rapper 2hollis. Fans across platforms were quick to note the quote and react to her statement. One such netizen wrote:

"Inspiration often hides in the unexpected. Lorde vibing with 2hollis feels like poetry meeting electricity - where emotion glitches into art. The muse evolves, one beat at a time. 🎧🌟"

During an interview with GRAMMY.com, Lorde discussed the music that inspires her when she is trying to "get things out." She was asked:

"What music do you tend to listen to when you need to get s**i out? Is it dance music or is it more lyrical?"

Lorde replied:

"Good question. It's definitely gonna be something with a strong rhythm… the Prodigy. What have I been listening to lately? It is all over the place. You go to the Midwest and all of a sudden, you are like, I need to listen to [San Jose, California indie rock band] Duster. I've been loving [alt-R&B singer/songwriter] Dijon's [2025] album so much. My true addiction actually and the most cathartic is [experimental electro-pop producer and rapper]2hollis."

Fans' reactions to Lorde revealing 2hollis as her "true addiction"

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to post that,

"Lorde reveals the music she’s been listening to: “My true addiction actually and the most cathartic is [experimental electro-pop producer and rapper] 2hollis.”"

Fans soon jumped into the comment section to react to Lorde's statement. Below are some of their remarks:

"Lorde always has that ear for left-field artists before everyone else catches on. If she’s calling 2hollis her “addiction,” it’s only a matter of time before the underground turns mainstream again.", commented a fan.

"The artist discovery pipeline: underground experimental act → major artist co-sign → mainstream exposure. Lorde's "true addiction" language means expect 2hollis influence in her next project. This is how underground sounds (hyperpop/experimental electronic) enter pop.", opined another.

"The heart finds refuge in what stirs it most, even if the world does not yet understand. As the elders say, *“the river flows where it must, not where the eyes wish.”* Lorde’s choice shows that true connection to art comes from what nourishes the soul, not from what others deem popular or proper.", penned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"that's too much of a musical technical jargon to throw at the fans, that's the problem with Lorde.... be simple in words for the world to understand your source of inspiration", noted a netizen.

"There's something deeply compelling about an artist of Lorde's caliber finding genuine catharsis in the niche, digital realms of a producer like 2hollis. It feels less like a casual recommendation and more like a key to understanding her own creative evolution. She's always had a preternatural ability to articulate the sublime in the mundane, and 2hollis's fragmented, hyper-stylized soundscapes seem like a logical sonic parallel, they both deconstruct pop conventions to build something intensely personal from the pieces. This isn't just about taste; it's a glimpse into the raw materials she's using to forge her next artistic statement.", commented another.

"Lorde always has the most unique taste no one curates vibes like her", declared a third.
