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.

it was a crazy day & my friends & family over here are still freaking out.
I just wanted to say thankyou for the time you've given me these past 14 months.
finding out about me online
or in between these pages
or in your headphones.
Without your support, there's no way I would ever have gotten to stand in the middle of the Staples Centre & perform in my school shoes.
I can't wait for tonight's show. Together, we'll make it magic.
i'll see you there. xxx L

I'm sure she's lovely but let's be honest - her PR team are the ones who deserve props for this
