  • Funny Moments: Her social-media "press junket" released ahead of the Masseduction campaign, a series of vignettes featuring Annie caustically reiterating every single mind-numbingly unimaginative interview stock-question she's had to answer over the years:
    Question: "What's it like being a woman in music?"
    (folds hands, each nail decorated to spell "FUCK OFF")
    Annie: "Very good question."
  • Ho Yay: Her performance of "Masseduction / One Kiss" with Dua Lipa at the 2019 Grammy Awards has heaps of sexual chemistry between the two singers.
    A YouTube User: lesbian panic attack
  • LGBT Fanbase: Especially since her high-profile relationship with Cara Delevingne and the move towards glam rock in Masseduction, she has solidified herself as a queer icon.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The last part of "Black Rainbow", where an ominous rising melody gets louder and louder before it abruptly cuts off. The lyrics beforehand don't help.
  • No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: She was mainly known as Cara Delevingne's ex-girlfriend before Masseduction, an album largely inspired by their relationship. Said album ended up being her mainstream breakthrough and helped her shake that reputation.
  • Tear Jerker: "Happy Birthday, Johnny", the third (and to date, final) song about her old self-destructive friend Johnny, now a homeless heroin-addict desperately calling Annie to ask for money for food. When she hesitates, he misinterprets it as her having gotten high and mighty off her fame and forgotten all about their friendship and storms off, never to be seen again.
    "What happened to blood, our family? Annie, how could you do this to me?"
    Of course I blame me
    When you get free, Johnny
    I hope you find peace
