Lorde predicted her own album's destiny when she wrote the lyrics: "we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre."

A fan, who patently listened intently to the lyrics of "The Louvre," hung Lorde's album Melodrama in the Louvre. Why? Because Lorde is the greatest.

Nina Richard took along a copy of Lorde's critically acclaimed album to the museum in Paris and hung it up among other works of art.

"A masterpiece surrounded by others," wrote Richard on Twitter. "l took it on a journey through time and space, from Antiquity, passing by Renaissance, to Modern Times."

She added that she had to do the whole thing very quickly because security started watching her.

NB: Louvre staff, Melodrama belongs on your walls.
