Lorde isn't performing at the Grammys after all—and the reason will make you mad

Per usual, the Grammys feature much-discussed performances from the biggest names in music—except this year, Lorde's name won't be discussed amongst other performers on Monday morning.

The New Zealand singer is up for Album of the Year alongside Donald Glover, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Jay-Z, but according to reports from Variety, everyone nominated alongside her were reportedly asked to deliver solo performances from their nominated albums during the televised ceremony except Lorde.

Rather than perform from the critically acclaimed album Melodrama, Lorde reportedly was offered a chance to sing "American Girl" by Tom Petty as a part of a tribute to the late singer—and declined.

She herself has not released a statement regarding the situation, but a tweet from her mother of an article describing the limited number of women nominated for Grammy Awards "says it all." The article, from the New York Times, name-checks Lorde and notes the lack of her inclusion in the performance schedule.

Wrong move, Grammys.
