Lorde is expected to spread her sunlight on the footsteps of the Met Gala next month.
Normally held on the first Monday in May, the most glamorous event on the New York calendar is returning with a new date in September, dove-tailing New York Fashion Week, after last year's was cancelled due to the pandemic.
With the 24-year-old's album Solar Power in full flight, pundits have Lorde near the top of Vogue Editor Anna Wintour's famous and ultra-exclusive list of mega-celebrities who are deemed worthy to attend the annual glittering costume ball. Tables start at US$200,000 (NZ$287,000), and individual tickets are US$35,000.
Vogue has been a fan of Lorde from the beginning and she recently did their 73 questions, while walking through the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx.
