"Someone came to my hotel and administered fluids to my corpse"

Now that late-night talk show hosts are back working out of their respective studios, Seth Meyers is making up for facetime lost to the pandemic with extra on-set shenanigans. Appearing on last night's Late Night with Seth Meyers was Lorde, who took part in the show's "Day Drinking" segment and got more than a little drunk.

After pounding back drinks with the host — including dishwater concoctions made from coffee, Red Bull, espresso beans, Four Loko, sake, whiskey, red wine, White Claw and more — the pop star woke up the next day predictably hung af.

"I can't look at an alcoholic drink ever again. It was insane," she says in a follow-up interview. "You did kind of destroy me. And I had to get a very pop-star thing: an IV drip."

She added: "Someone came to my hotel and administered fluids to my corpse."

Previously, Meyers has hosted Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson and the Jonas Brothers for the segment.

Watch Seth and Lorde talk about the consequences of getting wastey below.

Lorde's new album Solar Power — the follow-up to 2017's Melodramawill arrive on August 20. As previously reported, she also has a big tour coming up that will find her playing dates in Canada. You can see the full schedule here.
