Lorde, should we be worried about you?

The "Yellow Flicker Beat" singer debuted a new accessory during New York Fashion Week, but it's certainly not the type that anyone's planning to copy next season. Lorde seems to have some rash or infection in her right eye, but it isn't stopping her from attending fashion shows.

Lorde attended Kanye West's surprise show Wednesday, red eye in tow, but when the rumors began to swirl, the New Zealander turned to Instagram to at least acknowledge that something is plaguing her eye. In one selfie of her getting primped by a glam squad she herself asked what we're all wondering, "one question: what happened to your eye?"

Fair. But where's the answer?! We continue our investigation...

The next selfie gave an even closer look at her face, but this time the caption provided a little more information. Kind of. It was very vague, involved Kanye and somehow Drake managed to squeeze his way in.

"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--k it and let's dance with the melodrama?" she began the caption.

"ps. the show was crazy i got to wear sneakers and had the best bear hug from drizzy and now i'm in bed in a sweater editing something cool for you guys to see very soon."

So, she didn't say what was actually wrong with her, but she did give fans a tease about an upcoming project and her newfound friendship with Drizzy, who by the way, reciprocated the love on his own Instagram.

Don't get jealous, Serena Williams!
