Ariana Grande and Lorde tease new music – if you register to vote

Do you like Ariana Grande? Do you like Lorde? Would you like to hear new music by Ariana Grande and Lorde? Well, you can do – provided you register to vote.

Yesterday (October 7), the two pop stars used their social media platforms to tease new music and encourage young people to register to vote, Vulture notes. “Turning in these mixes and reminding u again to register to vote if u haven’t already / to vote early,” Ariana Grande tweeted, along with a sparkly sideways selfie of herself with a keyboard and a guitar.

Social media-shy Lorde used her Instagram to encourage her fellow New Zealanders to vote in their upcoming election, although much of the message could equally apply to the US. After sharing voting information on an Instagram Story, she wrote: “Do it for our beautiful country and for me. And next year I’ll give you something in return.”

So there you have it – vote to save pop music, and the world.
