Not sure we agree with you on this one, Lorde.

While prepping for Sunday night's American Music Awards, teen pop queen Lorde met host Pitbull backstage for the first time, and shared a glowing tweet about their interaction. Lorde was so enamored with the Cuban rapper, in fact, that she compared meeting him to what she imagines meeting U.S. President Barack Obama would be like.

also i met pitbull backstage, felt this wave of his charisma and loveliness wash over me, probably not dissimilar to meeting the president— Lorde (@lordemusic) November 23, 2014

While we're not sure we buy Obama-level presidential vibes coming off a guy who likely spends more time wearing Oakley sunglasses than not, we'll have to take Lorde's word for it. Let's just hope she checks back in on this comparison if she actually meets Obama.

Lorde performed her single, "Yellow Flicker Beat," off the Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 soundtrack, during Sunday night's award show.
