Robert Pattinson is reportedly dating British singer Tahliah Barnett, and now the mysterious beauty is stepping out of the "Twilight" star's shadow. More popularly know as FKA Twigs, the musician recently received a bid for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2014.
The English electro-pop musician has been shortlisted for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2014, said a report from Daily Mail.
FKA Twigs had just released her debut album LP1, which has received good reviews.
According to Daily Mail, the singer was at The Hospital in London for the nomination ceremony last weekend.
An earlier report from The Sun revealed details of Robert Pattinson dating Tahliah Barnett. "It's the real deal between Rob and Tahliah," said a source said, adding that the two had been able to keep their relationship secret until recently since "they're already smitten".
The source added that the 28-year-old actor has been taking the 26-year-old singer on dates. "He has even flown her out to stay with him in New York. He also loves going to her gigs," the source told The Sun.
Prior to Robert Pattinson dating Tahliah Barnett, the "Twilight" lead actor was committed to co-star Kristen Stewart. The controversial couple split after the actress allegedly had an affair with a married director while filming "Snow White And The Huntsman".
As their relationship progresses, the electro-pop musician reportedly wants her what she has with Robert Pattinson to be "low key".
"She wants to be known for her music, not just as 'Robert Pattinson's girlfriend,'" the source revaled to The Sun .
The source added that FKA Twigs is "worried about being bogged down by constant comparisons to Kristen."
The British singer also made news at a BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge last Saturday. She performed "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith, and afterwards explained to TV and radio presenter Alice Levine how she could relate the said song with her life.
The singer shared: "There was one line which basically alludes to saying, 'I'm not in love with you and maybe this isn't a serious thing, but it's perfect for right now and it's what I need emotionally right now. And maybe that's just something that I have related to," Robert Pattinson's rumored new love interest added.
