Lordy, Lorde what's going on with your peeper?! Either it's one serious eye infection, or a canny way of promoting something she's got in the works... Yep, we're that cynical.
The New Zealander posted the below to her instagram with the caption: "one question: what happened to your eye?" Given she's currently doing the rounds at New York Fashion Week, one can assume it's a question she's been hearing a lot...
The 18-year-old followed this with some eye-related poetry on twitter...
i work every night and through the weekend and my body falls apart / i go see a show / watch my good eye open slow pic.twitter.com/j4wF8tHphG

In another Instagram post, she said: "The skin is peeling off my lips and hands. These days i very rarely see the sun and my eye is weeping and screaming and it's fashion week and everyone already thinks i'm strange and it's a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say f*ck it and let's dance with the melodrama?"
And dance with the melodrama she did by attending a number of events rocking two entirely different eyes. She could've just painted the other one plum too and no one would've raised an eyebrow. In fact, they probably would've lauded her for bringing the 90s' penchant for 'heroin chic' back.
Adding a PS to one of her posts, she said: "Now I'm in bed in a sweater editing something cool for you guys to see very soon" so perhaps it's all tied in. Or perhaps she just needs a good night's kip, some vitamin D, and rake load of 8 Hour Cream.
In other news, the internet now thinks that Drake is also dating Lorde...
