San Francisco radio stations have banned Grammy-winning singer Lorde's hit single 'Royals' from their playlist ahead of the 2014 World Series.
Stations 104.5 KFOG and 96.5 KOIT have announced they will
not be playing the song during the baseball championship which will see the city's Giants taking on the Kansas City Royals, reported Ace Showbiz.
KFOG recently posted a photo of Lorde on their Facebook page and said, "No offense, Lorde, but for the duration of the World Series, KFOG Radio will be a 'Royals'-free zone. We're sure you understand."
KOIT, meanwhile, wrote on Twitter, "#Lorde #Royals will be removed from the @965KOIT playlist until the end of the World Series #GoGiants"
The 2014 World series starts from October 21 and will last
about a week.
'Royals' is a track from Lorde's debut album Pure Heroine that she put out last year.
