It appears Lorde has been running a secret onion ring review Instagram account, which has been abruptly shut down following questions Newshub sent to her management.

The account could be best described as clandestine. There are no names or faces posted to the account at all and management hasn't confirmed it is an official Lorde project.



But while there's no official word, there is a digital trail of evidence that builds a compelling case.

1. The followers

Before it was taken down, the @onionringsworldwide account amassed a grand total of 24 followers. One of them is Lorde. In fact, @onionringsworldwide is Lorde's most recent follow. This is our most immediate clue, and the tip-off that alerted a 17-year-old "big Lorde fan" to this account.

Other followers include Lorde's friends and associates Justin Warren, Jimmy Mac and Maddy Budd.
