Lordemay be giving the “Green Light” to the start of her next era.

After taking the stage in Oslo, Norway on Wednesday at Øya Festival, the pop singer made arare post to Instagramto tease her fans about what she’s been working on.

“After the show we went swimming,” the “Mood Ring” singer, 26, posted,sharing a series of photosof herself in a pool wearing a printed, Brazilian-style bikini. You could say that one image even called back to the cheeky cover of her albumSolar Power.

The caption on the post continued, “these times are beautiful and they freak me out and there’s so much to tell you.”

“No this is not the start of anything out there,” the artist (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor) said. “just want u to know there’s a light on inside me .. show it to you soon.”

Although she gave insight into her creative progress, the Grammy-winner was quick to shut down rumors of just how “soon” a new song was coming. To one comment that inquired whether a single was coming in 10 days, Lorde replied, “Lmao NO.”
