Lorde is still riding the massive wave of momentum behind this year's sophomore effort Melodrama (complete with a just-announced Grammy nomination), and one particularly devoted fan has turned a lyric from the record into reality.
 
On album cut "The Louvre," Lorde sings: "We're the greatest / They'll hang us in the Louvre" — and that's exactly what Twitter user @NinaRichard_ did.
 
In a tweet that has since gone viral, the Paris-based fan documented a recent trip to the museum, in which she posed the album cover in various spots around the massive gallery.
 
"I took it on a journey through time and space, from Antiquity, passing by Renaissance, to Modern Times," she tweeted, giving the album a new home as "a masterpiece surrounded by others."
 
Sure, it's not permanently hung right next to the Mona Lisa, but in Lorde's own words: "Down the back, but who cares? Still the Louvre."

Lorde's album Melodrama is available on standard black and deluxe royal blue vinyl via Umusic.
