Lorde learned the hard way yesterday...don't mess with Whitney Houston! In what she thought was an innocent IG post about loving taking baths, she referenced a hit Whitney song which made people think it was done on purpose. 

The post was a picture of a bathtub with the caption "And iiii will always love you." You'll remember Whitney passed away and was found in a bathtub.  People immediately ripped her on social media urging her to take it down, which she did. Lorde put up a post soon after saying “Extremely extremely poorly chosen quote.  I’m so sorry for offending anyone — I hadn’t even put this together, I was just excited to take a bath. I’m an idiot. Love Whitney forever and ever. Sorry again.”
