Apparently she has a pretty hardcore fanbase, but who is it that's a fan of her? Why did she get so popular so fast? I don't exactly hate the songs I've heard, but I also am not seeing what resonates with (some) people so much

    She has family who works in the music industry apparently

    it's this.. mostly. Don't get me wrong she and her brother are talented, but it definitely helps and you don't go from complete obscurity to having millions of subs and monthly listeners without a little help behind the scenes. Just like taylor swift, while i find her obnoxious personally, she's a talented writer but would she be as big as she is if daddy hadn't have literally bought her initial label and made them focus on her? Maybe, maybe not? the music industry sucks big shit and there are thousands and thousands of artists that are just as good as what we hear that will never "make it."

      Pretty much. Without having some kind of connections, there's little chance she'd have broken into the mainstream. That being said, it still says something about her that she's been able to build and maintain such a high level of popularity. There have been plenty of acts the industry has tried to shove down our throats that went nowhere.
