The music community considers FKA twigs to be one of the most exciting performers to watch. The Twilight community, however, considers her public enemy number one.
Since being romantically linked to Robert Pattinson, the British singer (real name Tahliah Barnett) has been inundated with online hate from so-called "Robsten Shippers" who'd rather see Pattinson paired off with his ex-girlfriend, Kristen Stewart. She has called out online trolls in the past, and recently told USA Today about her struggle to combat vitriol from "14-year-old kids that should be in bed."

"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," twigs added. "It's like a hangover. It's weird, I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing."
But, if Team Robsten is hoping negative comments will spur her to dump Pattinson, they're wrong.
"The positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects...very worth it," she told the paper.
Suck it, haters. (USA Today)
