“You guys, today we have the number one album in america,” she wrote. “From the bottom of my heart, thankyou.

“Royals was, to quote david chase, ‘a moonshot, a dreadnought,’” she went on. “There were no such guarantees with melodrama�”that’s why this means so much.”

“When i was a kid i thought big records had to be made a certain way�”to be sterile & calculated in craft; that something had to be sacrificed,” she added.
