Lorde has revealed why she will no longer be performing at the 2021 VMAs, assuring fans that she is "fine".
The singer was announced as one of several acts who will perform at this year's award ceremony, but later it was revealed that she would no longer take to the stage.
"Due to a change in production elements, Lorde can no longer perform at this year's show," a tweet from the official VMAs account read.
Now, addressing fans in her newsletter, Lorde assured everyone that she is okay.
"I saw some people were very concerned about me pulling out of the VMAs, you're so sweet, I'm totally fine!" she wrote, according to People.
"It's just that we were planning this insanely amazing many-bodied intimate dance performance, not fully understanding the (very necessary!) safety protocols that are in place, and the masking and distancing just meant it wasn't gonna be what I dreamed, and you know I can't make something less than outstanding for you guys," the singer explained.
"I hope you understand. There will be many more TV performances, don't you worry."
The VMAs takes place on Sunday, 12 September, and will be hosted by Doja Cat.
