Yet, Lorde did not know who Brett was or why he was signing baseballs. She just saw the word Royals on his shirt, liked it, and then wrote a song titled that. Pretty crazy.

The official MLB Twitter account posted an image of the two who finally crossed paths this week, and maybe now we can put this all to rest?
