Why she might be annoying:

    Before her musical breakthrough, she appeared in ads for the iPhone, Quickbooks, and Taco Bell.
    She suffered from depression and anxiety.
    She wrote the song ‘Killer’ about a period in her life when she was obsessed with serial killers.
    She said about writing songs about her past relationships, ‘It's hard when I write something that is super sensitive or something that might hurt someone's feelings. But I don't edit myself.’
    When she smashed her guitar during her appearance on Saturday Night Live, she hit it against a fake stage monitor.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She cited Elliott Smith as the biggest influence on her songwriting.
    She was in an emotionally abusive relationship with Ryan Adams.
    She, Fiona Apple and Matt Berninger (of the National) recorded a cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Seven O’Clock News/Silent Night,’ updated to reflect the events of 2019.
    Slate and Under the Radar named ‘Punisher’ the best album of 2020.
    Noting that a record company executive complained that her online humor did not match her musical image, she said, ‘Writing sad songs doesn’t mean I’m a sad person…. I am not going to be moody all the time just for a brand.’
