Lorde stunned followers when she released an X-ray of a pelvis as the cover of her latest album – and now one fan has made a ‘shocking’ discovery in the artwork.
A TikTok user, who goes by Aran, shared a video on Friday claiming to be a ‘board-certified radiologist’ who found something disturbing in the X-ray.
Aran says the image also contains a ‘cloudiness’ which indicates ‘constipation’.
‘Hi everyone, I’m a board certified radiologist and there is something that I’ve noticed on Lorde’s Virgin album cover that no one else has,’ Aran began.
‘So this cloudiness here is actually from faeces.’

‘While it’s perfectly normal to show up on a medical X-ray, we usually only see this level of cloudiness in patients who are very blocked up or have severe constipation.
‘So, while it’s not necessarily a medical emergency, I can only imagine how uncomfortable it feels.
‘I wish Lorde an amazing album release day, but I really hope she gets some more fibre into her diet,’ they finished.
While it is unclear if Aran is actually a ‘board-certified radiologist’, they are not the only fan who has made the claim that Lorde’s X-ray shows faeces in the bowels.
One user took to X to claim their friend, who is an alleged nurse, looked at the album cover and confirmed the ‘white blob’ in the image was ‘poop’.
‘She said those white splotches to the left her of tail bone was s***,’ the fan wrote.
They then shared a screenshot of a text message which read: ‘That like white blob on the left that’s poop.’
It comes after the hitmaker, 28, sent fans into a frenzy with a surprise performance at Glastonbury on Friday, which saw her whip her top off in the sweltering heat.
Thousands of fans flocked to the Woodsies stage after rumours of a set from the Royals hitmaker spread around Worthy Farm.
Such was the excitement that bosses announced the stage had temporarily closed due to overcrowding shortly before her set began.
The singer – who previously graced The Pyramid Stage in 2022 – performed all of her biggest hits from Ribs to Green Light, as well as a rendition of her new album.
The show came on the same day as she dropped supporters’ jaws by unveiling the cover of her new vinyl – which featured a very racy photograph.
The singer had already raised eyebrows with the project’s main artwork, which features an X-ray of her pelvis.
However, the vinyl for Virgin – Lorde’s fourth studio album and first since 2021’s Solar Power – is more explicit and featured what appears to be genitals in plastic pants.
Taking to social media to express their shock, some fans worried about their family members potentially seeing the NSFW cover.
They shared on X: ‘So the new Lorde vinyl just got delivered. I was not prepared for the insert.’
Another said: ‘Lorde really got her cat out like that on her vinyl huh?’
One more wrote: ‘My Lorde vinyl is getting delivered to my parent’s house I’m scared [sic].’
However, not everyone was so critical of the vinyl’s artwork, and others described it as ‘beautiful’ and far from being shocking.
‘A lot of you are being very weird about the Lorde vinyl cover… who tf cares if her lordeussy was out. It’s just a body,’ someone wrote.
Others said the reaction to the vinyl was so extreme they expected it to be a lot more explicit than it actually is.
‘I really thought the Lorde vinyl insert would be a lot worse than people are saying it is, you guys are kinda dramatic,’ one said.
Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time.
Her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.
