Musician

The Resume

    (June 10, 2004- )
    Born in Dallas, Texas
    Full name is Taylor Gayle Rutherford
    Based in Nashville, Tennessee
    Recorded the songs 'ABCDEFU', 'Z', 'Orange Peel' and 'Happy For You'

Why she might be annoying:

    She just goes by her middle name (often stylized in ALL CAPS).
    We've heard the exact same kind of music from Avril Lavigne nearly two decades before.
    She could also be considered a poor man's Billie Eilish.
    She was homeschooled.
    She looks like voice actress Kira Buckland.
    She has split-dyed hair (one side black, one side ginger-red).
    She has a nose piercing.
    She has a 'bipolar' emoji tattoo on her wrist.
    She is allergic to mangoes.
    She makes TikTok videos.
    Her songs frequently contain curse words that can be considered inappropriate for her younger fans.
    The cover art for her single 'ABCDEFU' is an X-ray of her hand with a dislocated middle finger.
    'ABCDEFU''s official music video depicts her breaking into and trashing her ex-boyfriend's house (although it's not really his house, but a close replica according to Gayle).
    Beyond 'ABCDEFU''s music video, she's also made countless other viral videos on YouTube and TikTok reveling in the song and its success.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She's been writing and performing music since the age of 10.
    She was discovered by pop songwriter and former American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi.
    Her influences include Olivia Rodrigo, Lorde, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and the aforementioned Billie Eilish & Avril Lavigne.
    She came from a dysfunctional family where her parents constantly fought and argued (culminating in their divorce during her teen years).
    She is dyslexic.
    The inspiration for 'ABCDEFU' came from a failed attempt to rekindle a friendship with an ex-boyfriend, only for him to be rude and disrespectful towards her.
    'ABCDEFU' became a worldwide pop radio and chart sensation (December 2021).
    'ABCDEFU''s music video earned over 30 million views and 1 million likes on YouTube (December 2021).
    Her music is often described as 'honest and empowering'.
