Lorde has asked fans to wear "rainbow clothing" to her upcoming show in Kansas after discovering plans by an extremist church to protest outside the concert.
The Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to picket Lorde's concert at Midland Theater on March 21 because she "doesn't have enough sense to put in a thimble".
A nonsensical post on their website said: "New Zealand came forth with a young lassie that doesn't have enough sense to put in a thimble. Now the world has elevated her to the status of an idol. Then the world began to weigh in. They think this and that and blah, blah, barf."
The chart-topping North Shore teen posted a series of tweets encouraging fans to wear bright clothes and "kiss church members who are the same sex as you".
"hahaha omg just found out westboro baptist church are going to picket my show in kansas city," she wrote, followed by: "everyone wear rainbow clothing to that show".
