Trouble ahead at Lordes concert after heated tweets
Lorde has told her fans to pucker up for same-sex church members who plan to picket outside her concert this Friday.
It seems members of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) have beef with the Kiwi singer for being in favour of LGBT rights.
The outspoken singer recently responded to a lesbian jab about her friendship with Taylor Swift. When a radio show host joked about the two being “‘Ellen’ together,” Lorde replied by asking the interviewer, “Is there something wrong with lesbians? Is that what you’re trying to say?”
In response to news of the protest, the Royals singer tweeted, “Hahaha omg just found out the westboro baptist church are going to picket my show in Kansas City,” telling concert-goers, “Everyone wear rainbow clothing to that show.”
Lorde added in another post, “Everyone try to kiss church members who are the same sex as you they will so love it.”
While the tweets have since been removed, the message to Lordes fans is already out there, which could spell big trouble at the Kansas City concert.
