" In case there was any doubt that Lorde is totally dominating the music scene right now, just check out what happened when she released the music video for her latest track &amp;quot;Team.&amp;quot; As soon as the singer&amp;#039;s new vid hit the web, it was an instant hit\u2014and apparently, too big of a hit for the Internet to handle. So many fans swarmed Lorde&amp;#039;s Vevo page to watch the &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; video that it crashed! So what makes one music video so friggin&amp;#039; awesome that it brings down the web? Lorde appears to have mastered the recipe\u2014and here it is: -1 part mystery Just like &amp;quot;Royals,&amp;quot; this song has a much deeper meaning than you&amp;#039;d guess from the lyrics alone. Lorde took to her Facebook to explain the dream she had that initially inspired &amp;quot;Team,&amp;quot; making everyone super curious to see if the video would help decode the double meaning behind the lyrics. -2 parts relatability The dream that led to &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; that led to the video that crashed the Internet, wasn&amp;#039;t as outrageous or crazy as you&amp;#039;d imagine. Actually, it wasn&amp;#039;t crazy at all\u2014it was more like the kind of dreams you&amp;#039;ve probably had. Lorde told her Facebook fans that the dream was &amp;quot;about teenagers in their own world, a world with hierarchies and initiations, where the boy who was second in command had acne on his face, and so did the girl who was queen.&amp;quot; Pimples, cliques, heirarchies and king and queen bees\u2014so totally something every teen can relate to and so totally Mean Girls meets Twilight. And come on, who wouldn&amp;#039;t want to see Lorde&amp;#039;s version of Mean Girls (but with guys!)?  -3 parts fantasy  But this isn&amp;#039;t one of those dreams...er, nightmares where the popular kids torture you. In the video, Lorde takes the role as queen of the make-believe kingdom filled with teenagers in what looks like a post-apocalyptic world. -4 parts revenge of the nerds The teenagers that join her highness in the vid are the pimply, not-so-cool kids. In other words, it&amp;#039;s not the usual beautiful, pimple-free popular kids pushing the nerdy misfits and punks into lockers that we see in most movies and shows. it&amp;#039;s the kids that don&amp;#039;t fit in that rule Lorde&amp;#039;s fantasy high school! And who wouldn&amp;#039;t want to join Lorde in watching what that world would be like? -Plus, a sprinkling of Lorde One reason we love Lorde is that she&amp;#039;s always stayed away from Hollywood&amp;#039;s in-crowd and didn&amp;#039;t completely change to fit the usual celeb mold as soon as she became famous. She&amp;#039;s made it totally cool not to fit in, and made anyone who has ever felt like they didn&amp;#039;t fit in (which is um, everyone) a hero to relate to and root for! Which cleary everyone did, and can we just agree that crashing the Internet is final proof that you don&amp;#039;t have to be like everyone else to be popular?  Okay, we told you why we think it rocks\u2014now watch the video for &amp;quot;Team&amp;quot; below and tell us what you think of Lorde&amp;#039;s fictional world!
