Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry and Lorde are all facing off for the coveted Best Female Video award at the 2014 MTV VMAs, but only one can walk away with the prize!

Yet another sign that Lorde has made it: She landed the cover of Rolling Stone!

Before she was topping the charts and putting her foot in her mouth about artists like David Guetta, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, Lorde was a pretty 12-year-old fronting a band called Extreme. (We'll forgive her for not knowing that was a metal band first since she wasn't even born back then!) And she looked exactly the same!
