There's something odd, something simultaneously humble and yet creepy about a celebrity commenting on another's Instagram.

It's one thing if it's a separate post, an overt and obvious message to them, but when their name is buried in the comments section among other users it always conjures the lonely image of them sat on a sofa scrolling idly through their feed.

One such social media oddity took place today when Lorde posted a photo of herself on a balcony in a white jumpsuit alongside the caption: "in oslo looking like a president's wife or some shit".

An eagle-eyed fan spotted the comment, from chef Jamie Oliver's official account: "Your funny babe hope your well j" (sic).

It was pretty harmless, but clearly the combination of bad grammar, perfunctory compliment and unlikely celebrity pairing amused onlookers.

"Double date between Lorde and Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay with Charli XCX is def in the works," one wrote.
