In 2021, Lorde sang about throwing her own “cellular device in the water.”<\/p>\n

She might want to chuck your high-tech glasses in the waves, too.<\/p>\n

During a Thursday performance at Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival, the singer-songwriter delivered a blunt verdict on the wearable technology.<\/p>\n

“Can I just say, for the record, fuck the glasses,” she said between songs. “Don’t get the glasses. Not sexy.”<\/p>\n

Lorde did not name Meta, Ray-Ban, or a specific pair of AI-enabled glasses. Representatives for the singer did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s questions about her comments.<\/p>\n

Still, the setting gave the remarks a lot of subtext.<\/p>\n

Ray-Ban sponsored the festival and promoted its smart glasses there. Blackpink singer Jennie, a Ray-Ban Meta ambassador who has appeared in ads for the devices, performed on the same stage after Lorde.<\/p>\n

The comments arrive as Silicon Valley races to move generative AI beyond computers, smartphones, and geofenced self-driving cars \u2014 and there’s a current obsession with wearable accessories.<\/p>\n

Meta has emerged as an early leader in AI wearables through its partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the owner of Ray-Ban and Oakley. The $299 glasses can answer a wearer’s questions, play audio, and capture live photos and videos through built-in cameras, Meta says.<\/p>\n

The products have faced significant pushback from privacy advocates, who are concerned that bystanders may not always realize they are being recorded.<\/p>\n

The products have been a hit. EssilorLuxottica said it sold more than 7 million AI glasses across its Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta lines last year.<\/p>\n

‘Not sexy’<\/h2>\n

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly said that fitting the tech into high-fashion eyewear will be essential to making the wearables mainstream.<\/p>\n

That makes Lorde’s “not sexy” assessment particularly pointed \u2014 and she has some A-list credibility in the fashion department: She’s walked the Met Gala red carpet four times, was on the cover of Vogue in 2021, and was a guest on designer Bella Freud’s “Fashion Neurosis” podcast last year.<\/p>\n

Her criticism also fits a recurring tension in her work: growing up online while trying to make disconnecting kinda cool<\/em>. She previously told The New York Times she’s tried ditching her phone after becoming alarmed by how much time she spent looking at its screen.<\/p>\n

“Maybe the internet raised us,” she sang in her debut 2013 album. “Or maybe people are jerks.”<\/p>\n
