So, Lorde, the girl who wrote and sang Royals rode an Uber two days ago and the driver had no idea the multiple Grammy winner was the one in his car! He did not recognize the singer and even went ahead to rave about some famous person he had just dropped before picking her. She recounted the funny experience on twitter to her 4 million plus followers.

i can tell our ride, by comparison, sparkles significantly less for him

i can feel it from the back seat, his dazed glow. he’s probably now pretending that i am not here, that they are still together, and alone

Incidentally, fellow pop star and multiple award winning singer/songwriter, Ellie Goulding had also experienced an even greater disrespek from an Uber driver and shared it in a reply to Lorde’s tweet but has since deleted it.
I remember the time Nigerian producer and record label boss, Don Jazzy shared his Uber experience in London where the driver occasionally picked up other passengers on the road and he compared it to danfo in Lagos, unknown to him, he checked the carpool option on the app. Different strokes. Different folks.
