Comparing things and people to Disney princesses is basically the bread 'n' butter of the Internet these days, but when it comes to finding Lorde's fairytale doppelganger, I'm going to have to go OG storybook here.

Lorde is basically the Little Mermaid -- but not the red-haired, gleeful one. Nope, she's the LM from Hans Christian Andersen story -- you know, with the misery and the knives and the eventual foamy death.

Don't believe me? Let's break it down:

She has that mermaid hair.

Tangled and wild, Lorde has that mermaid hair game on lock. The Little Mermaid, however, definitely washes hers more often than Ella -- if only because she, well, dwells UNDER THE SEA.

She's kind of always in the water.

Life's a beach for both mermaids and alt-pop stars.

She's got that siren voice.

I'm betting Lorde's fans bash their prows into rocks and sink to their watery graves every day whilst listening to her jams. Wait, what?

She was allowed to see the world for the first time at age 15.

The Little Mermaid got to check out the topside realm when she turned 15, Lorde released "Royals" around that time... You do the math. Or, not really math. It's just really looking at numbers...

She rebels against the world she was born into.

The LM doesn't really wanna stay under the sea -- Lorde doesn't reaaaally wanna be all famous and poppy. These things are not really the same, but, well, they're both rebels. That's what's important here.

She's 'smoother than a storm.'

TLM saves a prince from a storm, Lorde is smoother than one -- according to "Yellow Flicker Beat" -- and could probably also save a prince. You're safe with this one, James, when you two inevitably go to the beach together. Just don't fall in love with some other rando, forcing Ella to make a deal with a sea witch.

She can dance like no human has danced before.

The Mermaid that is little makes a deal with the sea witch (like I said) that involves getting legs, losing her voice and being able to dance like no one else on Earth. Sound like someone else we know? (You know, negating all that losing-one's-voice thing. Also the sea witch part.)

When she dies, she will turn to sea foam.

I mean, we can only assume...
