At the Grammy Awards in New York on Sunday, the stars wore symbolic white roses to support the Time’s Up movement.
And Kiwi singer Lorde did her own version, sewing a feminist poem into the back of her red dress.
The 21-year-old took to Instagram to share a snap of the poem, by Jenny Holzer, saying it was her ‘version of a white rose.’

‘My version of a white rose — THE APOCALYPSE WILL BLOSSOM — an excerpt from the greatest of all time, Jenny Holzer,’ Lorde captioned the snap.
The poem reads: ‘Rejoice! Our times are intolerable. Take courage, for the worst is a harbinger of the best.’
‘Only dire circumstances can precipitate the overthrow of oppressors. The old and corrupt must be laid to waste before the just can triumph. Contradiction will be heightened.’

The Royals star reportedly refused to perform at the Grammys on Sunday because she wasn’t offered a solo spot, like her fellow male nominees.
It was also reported that she refused to do the red carpet after growing frustrated with event organisers.
TMZ reports the two-time Grammy award winner, who’s the only female nominated for Album of the Year, felt insulted after only being offered the option to perform as part of the late Tom Petty tribute.

The site also claims all other nominees were offered the opportunity to perform solo.
It comes after Lorde’s mother Sonja Yelich took to Twitter to throw some shade at the Grammys over the suspicious snub.
The 52-year-old tweeted out an article from the New York Times about the gender disparity between nominees, with the Times citing a report that claimed that out of the 899 people nominated at the last six Grammy Awards, only 9 percent were women.

The article also pointed out that Lorde was the only female artist nominated for Album of the Year this year, but isn’t scheduled to perform.
Tweeting out the article to her thousands of followers, Sonja cryptically wrote: ‘This says it all.’
A recent report in Variety claims that all the male artists in the Album of the Year category -Childish Gambino, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Bruno Mars – were offered solo performance slots.
