Lorde music video gets ‘royal’ makeover from Hopkins High grad

Hopkins High School grad and aspiring comedienne Molly Dworsky was waiting tables in Los Angeles when a customer remarked on how she looked like teen music sensation Lorde.

Lorde's song "Royals" was hit this year, ranking #2 on The Current's Top 89 songs of the year.

Dworsky, whose alma mater's athletic teams are called "The Royals," decided to make her own version of the hit song, reflecting on how comparatively old and unsuccessful she feels at the age of 26.
