- In December 2021, FKA Twigs released a new song titled Tears in the Club, featuring The Weeknd.
- In January 2021, during an appearance on Grounded with Louis Theroux podcast, she revealed that she suffered racist bullying by Robert Pattinson’s fans during their relationship.
- Her music is described as “catchy pop” with “whispery vocals.”
- Due to her cracking joints, she basically got to be known as twigs, and, she added the prefix “FKA” by herself to make her name different from the already existing artist called “The Twigs.” Some people say that FKA means Formerly Known As, but according to FKA Twigs herself, it does not mean anything.
- She graced the cover of the i-D magazine for their August 2012 issue.
