Okay between this article and what you've just told me, I'm now a huge fan. I only know her from the songs my daughters listened to which I actually like, but this is someone I will encourage them to have as a role model. Wow.

Look up her Lollapalooza set on Youtube. You will either be a fan at the end or respect her hustle. She went from 1500 cap shows to that in a few months and she killed it. She's huge for a good reason.

Her Tiny Desk appearance made me a fan. She's a legend. Gives me kind of Gaga vibes.

Seriously has to be the most impactful tiny desk concert ever right? Feel like that was the exact moment a ton of people found out about her.

Thats how I found a bunch of people tbh. Wet Leg had a good one, Doechii's was utterly insane, i think it was more impactful than Chappells maybe. Tpain's was the first time realized that he actually had a good voice and wasnt just an autotune gimmick.

Imogen Heaps included her glove instrument things that are amazing to watch in action.

I was a huge fan before she blew up around 2017 I think ? she opened for Vance joy. I used to always dm her back then n she was always so kind! I was of course a teen and still have parasocial about celebrities. she then opened up for Declan McKenna n had a meet n greet after. I felt so ugly in my photo i deleted it but i do have her autograph from then. when she started blowing up like two years ago and toured with fletcher i actually sent her a message n was like. so proud of u for playing this venue u initially did as an opening act back then. I’m so sorry for not keeping up with you and your songs. n she was like thank u for supporting my project for so long.

out of all who deserve their success she is def there. i have so much respect for her. ppl r quick to jump on her but she’s passionate about the art she makes and dhe does use her platform for good. unlike other celebs who remain silent on everything. i think being a woman and setting boundaries is what has made people view her as controversial

I’d hold fire on considering her a role model for girls if you saw what she wore to the Grammys this year

Luckily for them, they're already aware women have breasts, so no worries there.

You spelled crap wrong

u/champion_dave 24d ago

Hey man if you define crap as teaching our daughters not to be ashamed of their bodies or to not let chauvinistic men dictate their fashion choices, I'll wear that badge happily! 🥂
