Lorde and Ariana Grande both urged their fans to vote in two upcoming elections on Wednesday, with both artists teasing new solo music if people register.
Though she rarely posts on social media,l Lorde made a rare series of posts on Instgram ahead of the upcoming elections in her native New Zealand. “Hey. Are u from New Zealand? I am. If you’re 18+, it’s time to VOTE!” she wrote in a series of Instagram stories. “We know we live in a special place. And adding all of our voices to the conversation, speaking up for communities or organisations that mean something to us — that’s what helps keep it that way.”
“There’s also two referendums to vote in this year: the End Of Life Choice Bill and the Cannabis Legalisation And Control Bill,” she continued. “Go have a read about each of those and vote on the day! … Do it for our beautiful country and for me. And next year I’ll give you something in return.”
