2021 saw her influence only further manifest domination over pop culture cannot be understated, with her music “shifting the window for sex in pop” (NPR). Her aesthetic provided the main influence for designer Anthony Vaccarello’s AW21 Saint Laurent collection and “F**k The Pain Away” was used as a climactic moment in Netflix’s Sex Education Season 3. The song was also written into the script for Aisling Bea’s comedy series This Way Up, and the clinquant “Kick It” acted as a supporting character in the soundtrack for Showtime’s critically-acclaimed Yellowjackets.
