Lorde Reunites With a Childhood Friend During a Beach Day in Her Native New Zealand

Lorde hit the beach in her native New Zealand with an old classmate named Tim Teesdale last week. The singer walked through the waves in a blue bikini on Ngarunui Beach after watching her pal surf from the back of a car. Lorde shared an Instagram photo of Tim that day with a touching caption: "Tim has been my friend since we were 13; he's a nature wizard and a deep thinker, and he doesn't talk a lot but pretty much everything he says is a poem," she wrote. "He also thinks most things I do are deeply uncool and for that I'll probably love him forever." She posted another shot of the picturesque landscape that was captioned, "God I love where I live."

Last time we saw Lorde, she was attending the Met Gala in NYC with her celebrity friends Taylor Swift, Florence Welch, and Ansel Elgort, all of whom took turns signing the cast she was wearing on her arm due to a broken bone. Before that, she returned to New Zealand for another beach day in February, this time wearing a red two-piece with friend Justin Warren.
