My ex-husband always asked me how I knew so much of "today's music". He was stuck in the 80s. Drove me crazy.

Held their annual Hottest 100 vote and "Bad Guy" won.
She was also the first female solo artist to win that gong in almost 30 years of the contest.

she was the youngest artist to be nominated in all the four “main” categories in the same year.

And at 18 she won them all
and she is the youngest artist ever to win album of the year.
Big wins

Like the two of them basically made her debut record which has been a massive success.

It's pretty good stuff, actually. Has a hint of unbalanced menace that I dig.

I listen to Sirius XM 36 on the way to school with my daughter in the morning and he's been on there quite a bit lately. Her parents are both actors

She's not some over-sexualized, over-choreographed barbie doll. She's herself. And she dances exactly like a 17 year old dances.
