Lorde takes out a full page ad in this national newspaper.

Lorde is many things: 17 years old. A Kiwi. Owner of two shiny new Grammy awards. An original singer-songwriter in an age of manufactured pop stars.

And now she’s in the running for Most Gracious Celebrity (we just made that up, but it’s pretty prestigious). When famous people win awards, usually they throw lavish parties for other famous people. But Lorde? She decided to take out a full page ad in the New Zealand Herald to thank her fans for their support. It’s a handwritten note with a pretty sweet sketch of a Grammy.

Here it is: the best thing Lorde’s written since those tweets she deleted straight away this morning.
