For her first appearance at the 2014 Grammy Awards, we were hoping to see Lorde's gothic vibes come alive with her dark and tousled curls and a lengthy gown. Instead we got to see the teenage singer leave an impression through her chilling performance 

There was, however, one thing that was especially notable about Lorde at the glitzy show: She looked and acted like a normal teenager. To understand why this is so very important, think about the other teens we've seen in music over the past few years.
