Added DiffLines:

* ActorAllusion: Several of The Pretty Reckless's singles are featured on ''Gossip Girl''.
* ContractualPurity: She began her career as a child actress, famously as Cindy Lou in ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''. And although ''Gossip Girl'' was a sexy teen drama, Taylor's character was the TokenWholesome of the cast. The fact that she was not as squeaky clean as her character didn't sit well with a lot of people. Despite the fact that she's been relatively scandal-free, it didn't stop her undergoing some MemeticMutation with BeforeAndAfter pictures [[http://www.123tagged.com/fun/996/youre-doing-it-wrong-2.html like this]]. The Pretty Reckless's video for "Make Me Wanna Die" was prevented from being released for a while because Taylor appeared nude at the age of sixteen.
* CreatorBacklash: Admitted that she wasn't too fond of her acting career, claiming her parents pushed her into it when she was two, and she had already been burnt out by the age of seventeen.
* DyeHard: She's naturally blonde but goes for a platinum shade.


Added DiffLines:

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Connor Paolo, a good friend of hers who played Eric in ''Series/GossipGirl'', appears in The Pretty Reckless's video for "My Medicine".


Added DiffLines:

* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Jenny's 'good girl gone bad' storyline in Season 3 of ''Series/GossipGirl'' was a reflection of Taylor's own HotterAndSexier public image.
** She opted to focus on her music in The Pretty Reckless, so Jenny only appears in a few episodes in Season 4 and then gets PutOnABus completely (though came BackForTheFinale).


Added DiffLines:

* UnderageCasting: Cindy Lou is said to be eight years old, Taylor was six.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Taylor was one of the actresses Disney was interested in when developing ''Series/HannahMontana''. This gets a small ShoutOut in an episode of ''Gossip Girl''.

* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: She once dressed like [[http://www.dlisted.com/files/imagecache/photo-preview/files/galleries/spl252629_002.jpg this]] while on tour. It's a quite a black metal image for a band who plays pretty straightforward radio rock.
