Lorde channels Rihanna at the Grammys with a flask

One big question is looming over everyone's heads at this year's Grammys: Is Lorde pulling a Rihanna circa last year by bringing a flask?

The 21-year-old looked sensational dressed in a red gown with her matching red-hot flask.

It is not known what is inside, perhaps it was just an interesting choice of shape for a clutch bag?

Despite being nominated for Album of the Year for her hit album Melodrama, Lorde was reportedly not offered a solo performance like the males nominated in the same category.

According to Variety, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and Childish Gambino were all offered solo spots to perform their hit songs but Lorde was not.

She was, instead, offered to perform with other fellow artists in tribute to the late Tom Petty.

However, she declined the offer.

Neither Lorde or the Grammys have commented on the allegations.

Well, hopefully sitting back and relaxing made for an enjoyable time for the singer, regardless of what was in her flask.
