FKA Twigs isn't going to let haters get in the way of her romance with Robert Pattinson.
The singer was bombarded with vile, racist comments on social media after the couple first went public with their relationship but in a new interview with USA Today, the singer said her happiness with the actor outweighs the online negativity.
Twig said that the cruel bullies, including “14-year-old kids that should be in bed,” have made her use her social media accounts less. She added:
"I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It's like a hangover. It's weird. I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing, [but] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects...very worth it."
Twigs also talked about her career and thinks she has to work harder than her male counterparts.
"Being beautiful isn't everything...Sometimes it's interesting to show how you feel on the inside on the outside, just through expressing yourself,. Sometimes I look at someone like James Blake, and I kind of envy the fact that he's a 6-foot-2 English guy and no one will say he's changed his T-shirt from black to blue. People will only talk about his music," she said.
Twig dished on the inspiration behind her debut album, LP1, which is about heartbreak.
"You try to do something, and it makes you feel disgusted in yourself. Whether it's loving someone, trying to make music or trying to finish something and it's painful, you're constantly confronted with your lack of skill level, or you're trying to love someone and you're confronted with all the demons you have."
