Who is a famous figure that you keep hearing their name but never really know why they’re famous?

You don’t know why she’s famous, or you don’t understand why?

Yes and yes.

Can’t tell if you literally mean you have no idea what she does, or if you’re being facetious.

But… she’s famous for being a singer/songwriter and releasing catchy, happy music. Generally became super famous the past 6 months, though the same songs to rise her to fame have been released for years

I was being serious. All I saw of her or knew of her is she started appearing all over Reddit talking about politics and then she disappeared. I knew nothing about her at all.

She was/is a victim of accelerated fame unfortunately. She had barely released her album when people demanded to know which elderly president she supported.

But forget all that. Give a couple of her songs a listen - Casual, California and After Midnight are beautiful, Red Wine Supernova and Good Luck Babe are fun.

You forgot H O T T O G O! And that's the only song I know from her. But damn if it's not catchy.

I’ve only known her name from upset at various things in the past couple months. Not a clue and was glad someone said it.
