Lorde was front and centre at Kanye West's New York Fashion Week show

She's name-dropped him as one of the artists she'd most like to collaborate with and it seems the respect is mutual.

Kanye West invited Lorde to sit front and centre at his New York runway show, sat in the midst of the Kardashian clan, between his wife Kim and daughter North and sister Kourtney and Khloe.

Infamous Vogue editor Anna Wintour was also part of the line up for the show - which was dominated by the colour beige.

Lorde was also photographed backstage, speaking to Kardashian's younger sister Kendall Jenner and Will Smith's son Jaden.

The Kiwi singer later posted about the night, writing: "The show was crazy i got to wear sneakers and had the best bear hug from drizzy and now i'm in bed in a sweater editing something cool for you guys to see very soon."

Lorde has spent the past five months recording her second album in Auckland with producer Joel Little but recently returned to Los Angeles, where she is continuing to work hard based on this comment.

"The skin is peeling off my lips and hands these days i very rarely see the sun and my eye is weeping and screaming and it's fashion week and everyone already thinks i'm strange and it's a kanye show where the freaks are beautiful so why not say f*** it and let's dance with the melodrama?"
