Kia ora!
On behalf of all New Zealanders, I wish to congratulate you and your co-writer Joel Little on your success at the 2014 Grammy Awards.
You have set a new standard for success as a New Zealand musician and you can feel proud of what you have achieved – we should indeed be calling you “Queen Bee”.
I very much look forward to seeing what’s next for Lorde.
Lt Gen The Rt Hon Sir Jerry Mateparae, GNZM QSO
