NZ pop star Lorde finds herself at the centre of an ugly sexism row ahead of today's Grammy awards, after she was reportedly denied the chance to perform solo at the ceremony.

The singer was instead approached by the show's producers to take part in a group tribute to late rocker Tom Petty which she declined, the publication says.
