Lorde Says "White Silence" Is "Damaging" Right Now in Message to Fans After George Floyd's Death
In the wake of George Floyd's death, Lorde is trying to do her part as an ally. According to Billboard, the Grammy-winning songstress issued a message to fans via email over the weekend, in which she condemned police brutality and described her efforts to help fight against it. "I've been following this week's events in the States from New Zealand. I also attended the peaceful protest in Auckland today to support the Black Lives Matter movement," the 23-year-old performer said. "One of the things I find most frustrating about social media is performative activism, predominantly by white celebrities (like me)," Lorde continued.
