She is just too arty sometimes for very mainstream tastes. Still she has been in Fallon before.

word. when i first heard of her i had no idea she’d been in the business for so long. She’s worked hard, without social climbing, publicity or controversy to get where she is and i wish i discovered her sooner.

I swear to GOD about 3 years ago I was listening to fka twigs and literally said to myself “she’s Mary Magdalene”. I thought immediately wtf where did that come from? It was completely random and out of nowhere But I remember it specifically.
