Lorde will no longer be bringing her send-up of woo-woo crystal culture to our TV screens September 12.

This is the second time in recent memory that Lorde elected not to sing at the VMAs.
In 2017, battling a nasty flu, Lorde instead danced her way through her song Homemade Dynamite.
Due to a change in production elements, Lorde can no longer perform at this years show.
We love Lorde and cannot wait for her to perform on the VMA stage in the future!
