Vainglory

As Asaph writes, there is no need to envy the wicked.

As an example of the fleeting nature of fame and fortune, consider the pop singer Lorde. Her parents sold her out to the music industry when she was a child, like a sacrifice. At first she was popular and widely praised, but then people quickly became sick of her, and she isn't very popular anymore. People didn't really like her awkwardness or her music.

Just Another Sellout

(Nothing against awkwardness, but that quality doesn't mesh well with the long term success of a pop star.)

Not sure if she still has a Tumblr, but back in the day of "Royals" (around 2013) it was like an ode to Satan, with lots of Illuminati symbolism. She probably didn't even manage it herself....Her handlers probably did. The taste was too dark and sophisticated for someone supposedly so young. Like all well known pop singers, her entire persona was created by handlers, and she doesn't write her own music. Her "friendship" with Taylor Swift seems like an extremely contrived publicity stunt as well.

Lorde and other sellouts like her are wicked, so there is no need to envy them; their time of vainglory is short.
