** The opening of "Masquerade" is done in the style of a black-and-white silent film, with actors being silent and having their dialogue appear in text on screen afterwards. Brief parts of the music video also jump between full-color and black-and-white.



* NotAMorningPerson: Well, she is, but others aren't. For Easter 2013, Stirling [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOPrGPU-SXE arranged an Easter Egg Hunt]] for everyone else on the tour bus. She was up bright and early setting out eggs, baskets, and a trail of footprints supposedly by the EasterBunny, but trying to wake up those touring with her didn't quite go so well. They wondered at how she could do it given that they'd done a show the night before.

** PlayedForLaughs in the music video for "Masquerade", where Lindsey plays a lead actress for some kind of performance. Her supporting actresses are passed out on the staircase, and she calls them up because ''she'' can't sleep... so they're going to do the routine again.
--->"NOW???"

* SuddenlyVoiced: The ''Shatter Me'' album has ''two'' songs with full sets of lyrics (written by Lindsey, but sung by other artists[[note]][[Music/{{Halestorm}} Lzzy Hale]] for "Shatter Me" and [[Music/MegAndDia Dia Frampton]] for "We Are Giants".[[/note]]). ''Brave Enough'' ups the number of songs with guest vocalists to eight, making it just about evenly divided between vocal songs and instrumentals.

* ProperTightsWithASkirt: As revealed in her autobiography, Lindsey has all her stage and video clothes specially designed to be "modest in a specific way", in keeping with her Mormon faith. Bare arms are fine(though she rarely bares her shoulders), and even when wearing a skirt she almost always is also wearing something on her legs(pantyhose, tights, yoga pants, jeans); there are a few pictures out there of her with bare legs, but not many. She also never wears anything that reveals any more than the absolute barest hint of cleavage.

About the only time she goes bare-legged is in her "Carol of the Bells" video, where she wears a blue ballerina-ish leotard, and in that one she covers it up with a transparent gauzy skirt. She also never wears anything that reveals any more than the absolute barest hint of cleavage.
