FKA twigs is one of the luckiest gals in the world right now - she's dating Robert Pattinson, and we love him. A lot.
The pair were even spotted out this week holding hands... SOB.
But the best way to overcome our jealousy is to get to know someone, of course - so we've compiled a list of everything you need to know about Miss twigs (for starters, what does FKA even stand for?).
FKA twigs isn't her real name (duh)
FKA's real name is Tahliah Barnett, and she became known as twigs because of the way her joints crack. FKA stands for Formerly Known As, and was added to her stage name because another artist called twigs (seriously, we never thought this name could be so popular) complained about her stealing the name.
twigs is English
FKA twigs grew up in Gloucester as the only mixed-race girl in her Catholic school.
twigs dances
The singer-songwriter is also a dancer, and has worked as a back-up dancer for Kylie Minogue, Jessie J, Taio Cruz, Ed Sheeran and Plan B.
twigs is stylish
FKA twigs isn't afraid to rock some different and unusual looks - and a cursory look of her Instagram profile shows that she pulls them off with panache.
twigs has been compared to some big names
twigs has been compared to Kanye West, James Blake, Frank Ocean in that she does things her own way and is 100% in control of her image and vision.
twigs likes cuddling
In an interview with The Guardian, FKA twigs admitted that "I'm like, 'Bagsy being little spoon!' every night!" We would too, if R-Pattz was our big spoon.
twigs is going to make it big
Twigs was featured on Billboard's 14 Artists to Watch in 2014 - and they always get it right.
twigs has a big following
Though you may have been introduced to her as Robert's new squeeze, twigs has a pretty big following of fans who love her unusual sound: her music videos for Water Me and Two Weeks have already racked up millions of hits.
twigs has a pretty awesome voice
If you haven't already downloaded twigs's music and become totally addicted to her unusual sound and fearless (sometimes tres, tres raunchy) lyrics, you can hear her incredible voice on Live Lounge, where she covered Sam Smith's Stay With Me:
twigs has been nominated for loads of awards
FKA twigs's debut album LP1 was nominated for the Mercury Prize, and now she's up for three awards at the MOBO Awards 2014: Best Female, Best Newcomer and Best Video for Two Weeks.
twigs and Rob look like they're getting pretty serious
It's rumoured that the pair are "officially an item" after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance, with friends revealing that the pair are "quite goofy" and "have great chemistry together" - and that "Rob really likes her." We will keep our tissues close by as the hand-holding pictures keep coming out.
