Lorde accuses Kanye of stealing set design

Lorde is claiming Kanye West stole her set designs. In a series of Instagram Stories, the “Green Light” singer shared images of her tour stage along with similar-looking setups from West’s performances. She finished the post with a final thought: “I’m proud of the work I do and it’s flattering when other artists feel inspired by it, to the extent that they choose to try it on themselves. But don’t steal — not from women or anyone else — not in 2018 or ever.” In a 2017 interview with Spinoff, Lorde said she worked with Es Devlin on the glass box-type designs. It’s worth noting West has a decade-plus relationship with the same designer. In what appeared to be a response to Lorde’s accusations, Devlin posted a series of photos to Instagram Tuesday of a similar set design used in a 2007 English National Opera production of “Carmen” by Georges Bizet. West has not commented.
