Lorde Sent Bullied "X Factor" Contestant Cupcakes

"No matter how many people make fun of me... I'm being me - and that's what's important."

Yesterday, Joe Irvine made headlines for being the victim of X Factor New Zealand's nastiest judges, Natalia Kills and Willy Moon.

This morning, he woke up to cupcakes and a sweet, encouraging note from the Queen of New Zealand (basically), Lorde.

@jooe63_joe lorde sent me cupcakes I thank u so much I love them

Oh, and Ed Sheeran tweeted his support to Joe, also.

@jooe63_joe don't worry about what anyone else says man. Enjoy yourself with it, that's what singing is about, not what other people think

Meanwhile, bullies Natalia Kills and Willy Moon? All they got was fired.

Bye!
