Kiwi singer who Sang Royals and Green Light is the limit of my knowledge.

Nothing is jumping out as obvious and I've got a few maybes

Embassy and Limousine are both official/fancy like Royals but it's a bit tenuous

She can belt out a tune but belt is what blue want to guess, so I shouldn't.

Platypus is Australian isn't it? Maybe it's in New Zealand too. Idk

Is a Mercury award a music award? I think it is but no clue if she won one.

Line from a song maybe

Lots of maybe and nothing really justifying Lorde at all. There's clearly something I'm missing

I've got such little confidence in anything that I'm going to go Line and then Pass and pray I didn't hit blue/purple

Belt - next on the list, and with a 5 clue and 6 to go, probably good
Chair - deck chair? captain's chair?
Limousine - something a rich person would use, like a yacht, but too much Lorde equity
Mercury - maker of boat motors?
Mexico - where yachts go in winter
Port - definitely, probably last hole word, too
Seal - sealing a boat deck, seals in the water
Switch - to start the yacht's motor

So....

Port
Mexico
Belt
Seal
Mercury
Switch
Bottles

Chair
Limo

So Port shouldn't be in the list anymore, which is handy because I almost went for it

Mexico shouldn't either fwiw

I think I've got to go Tap and Chair and pass here

maybe embassy next, but it's weak.

I think I've got to ignore the Lorde clue and find out why I was dumb later.

I've also got a few words I shouldn't go for because the clue was pub and not bar...

Belt can be reversible, and maybe it refers to Switch as well? So that leaves Seal/Mercury/Limo from the last list, plus....???

Root and Spike were previously on my list for hole, but I only need one more hole word.

Seal
Mercury
Limo
Root
Pass
