She's made headlines for her new video clip for Magnets, her latest collaboration with Disclosure.

And it's not hard to see why, with Kiwi singer Lorde, 18, showing off her darker side in the raunchy clip.

From kissing a married man to later setting him on fire, it seems Lorde has enjoyed playing an onscreen vixen, tweeting: 'One of my life goals has always been "to one day play a hitgirl who pretends to seduce then burns alive douchey boyfriends (sic)."

Lorde, real name is Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, first stuns on-screen in a plunging white dress as she cavorts around a party at a Los Angeles mansion.

She's then seen canoodling with the married man as tensions appear to rise between him and his partner.

At one point the other woman turns near a window with what looks to have a black eye.

While it appears Lorde's character is having an affair, she later dons a shiny leather trench coat as she looks at the wife, implying they are working together to avenge the man, before pushing him into the pool and setting him alight.

Lorde tweeted she not only played a 'hitgirl' but also implied the woman was the subject of domestic violence and that's why her character was around. 

'The most important part of the video is when you see her black eye as she turns away at the window.. hope it all makes sense from that point,' she tweeted.

She also retweeted a picture post about the black eye, which in part read: 'That's the point the whole video hinges on / takes it from being "an affair narrative" to being "dude's girlfriend hired miss ella the hit girl to 'seduce' him then take him the F**K out. (sic)"

She then later thanked fans for '1,000,000 views in 1 day, thanks beejs (sic).'

Lorde is known for her hits including Royals and Tennis Court and was discovered at just 12-years-old.

She's had a number of gongs under her belt, including Grammys and Billboard Music Awards. 

She is currently dating long-term boyfriend James Lowe, who she has been with for more than two years.
