Fact #174281

When:

Short story:

Lorde publishes a letter to her fans as an advert in the New Zealand Herald newspaper. The message thanks her fans "for believing in female musicians" and states that her Grammy nomination "belongs to you". Her letter/advert comes in the wake of criticism lodged against the 2018 Grammys for failing to recognise female artists, with Alessia Cara being the only woman to win a major award (for Best New Artist).
