Why Is ‘Lordeussy' Trending Amid Lorde's New ‘Virgin' Album Release?
Lorde's fourth studio album, Virgin, dropped June 27, but it's the vinyl packaging causing the biggest stir. The album includes an explicit photo that fans have dubbed 'Lordeussy,' sparking intense social media reactions. Lorde's new album, Virgin, seemingly contains a picture of what appears to be a body part that fans have dubbed as 'Lordeussy.' Listeners who purchase the vinyl packaging of the album will find a close-up shot of what fans assume is the 'Supercut' hitmaker's vagina, peeking through clear plastic trousers. The intriguing addition of the picture in Lorde's new album has started a social media frenzy. There are other visible elements of the album that appear to allude to the singer's body. The album cover of Virgin itself features an X-ray scan of what appears to be a pelvis with an IUD visible. Fans discussed if the new album, dubbed as her 'bravest' release yet, is also trying to reinforce its themes around female autonomy and reproductive rights. One fan opined on Reddit, 'Virgin is a perfect title for the album. The songs tell an uncomfortable and raw story about navigating body and identity issues all while relearning how to love yourself and others following the breakup of a long term partner. Lorde finds herself in a new body she hasn't figured out yet, but has learned to understand.' Another defended Lorde's creative choice of adding the picture of Lordeussy, adding on X (formerly Twitter), 'Just saw the Lordeussy and I don't get why people are so shocked, and it's creating so much discourse. Like, it's barely visible, and have they never seen nude paintings.' A third fan shared on X, 'Lorde shared her lordeussy with the world. Some people are uncomfortable. Clearly they haven't been paying attention to what she's been saying about VIRGIN.' Meanwhile, Lorde's fourth album, Virgin, contains a total of eleven tracks: 'Hammer,' 'What Was That,' 'Shapeshifter,' 'Man Of The Year,' 'Favourite Daughter,' 'Current Affairs,' 'Clearblue,' 'GRWM,' 'Broken Glas,' 'If She Could See Me Now,' and 'David.' Within a day of its release, the album has received rave reviews. The Guardian praised Lorde's 'act of consolidation' through the new project. The review stated, 'Lorde has reappeared because she's got something fresh to say rather than to reassert her commercial pop bona fides.'

What, Exactly, Is the Deal With Lorde's Vinyl Insert for ‘Virgin'?
The rollout of Lorde's fourth studio album, Virgin, has had everyone talking about—among other things—the reproductive system and its many uses. (Am I the only one still confused about the whole ovulation-is-so-cool-and-freeing conversation?) So it's only natural that the album's vinyl edition, also released today, should include an insert with the image of…a woman's lower torso and groin in a pair of unzipped plastic pants? (While some have speculated that the, well, vulva on display belongs to the 28-year-old musician herself, it should be stated outright that we really can't know that for sure.) While this is huge for the Bush is Back agenda—the pubic styling choice, not the political dynasty, thank actual God—it's also a ringing endorsement for physical media. While Lorde was perfectly happy to blast her (or, you know, someone's) pelvic X-ray out to one and all via Virgin's album cover, only the real ones who purchased a hard copy were blessed with a graven image of what the internet has inventively dubbed 'the Lord(e)ussy.'
