Why she might be annoying:

    She likened her small town to Friday Night Lights, with herself as the ‘new kid’ with ‘the sides of my head shaved and tattoos’ (‘and I was fuckin’ weirdo’).
    For the uninitiated, expect to see a lot of blue dye in her hair.
    One of her early YouTube clips was a parody of ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ (‘The Haylor Song,’ guess whom it was based on?).
    Having initially been described as ‘tri-bi’ (biracial, bisexual, and bipolar), she claimed to be misquoted.
    She lists Kanye West as an inspiration.
    Her very first tour date was sold out immediately.

Why she might not be annoying:

    At three years old, she saw little issue pairing floral skirts and Doc Martens.
    She played a variety of stringed instruments (‘yeah, I mean, I write all my own music — I’m a writer at heart; I’m not actually even a very good singer’).
    A few years into her career, she settled on her moniker as an anagram of her own name and the name of a Brooklyn-area street.
    She lists Leonard Cohen and Lady Gaga as inspirations.
    She was an opening act for Imagine Dragons and The Weeknd.
