Lorde‘s Melodrama has already been named by many to be one of the year’s best and she’s taken to Twitter to stick it to anyone who doubted that she could make something that good.
She’s just finished a huge run of live festival dates, crossing seven countries in seven days and by the sounds of it, she’s pretty amped about her recent achievements.
More than two years ago she tweeted, “hey, men – do me and yourselves a favour, and don’t underestimate my skill.”
She dug up that tweet again today to add that she wrote it, “the moment i decided to make a great fuckin record.”
“God i’m proud of my work if u knew half the battles female artists gotta fight to keep it only magnificent for u,” she added.
“I care for and respect you all so much. And love u with my whole heart. I’ll always do it for u.”
The record debuted at number one both here and in the US, making it the first time she’s ever reached the top position in the US.
She’s due to tour here at the end of the year playing Spilt Milk festival as well as some of her own headline dates which are bound to be huge.
Let this be a warning to anyone who doubts Lorde – don’t.
