A Lorde superfan hung 'Melodrama' in the Louvre

After dodging security, photographer Nina Richard quietly hung Lorde's well-reviewed, sophomore album Melodrama onto the walls of Le Musée du Louvre in Paris, France. Presenting her photographic evidence, she tweeted: https://twitter.com/NinaRichard_/status/934885527630868481

Why the Louvre?

According to Slate, the act of displaying the album in the museum is a way of bringing the lyrics of its fourth track, "The Louvre," to life:

But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre

Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

Melodrama was recently nominated for a 2018 Grammy Award. (Slate)
