FKA Twigs has revealed that she’s never seen the Twilight films, despite being engaged to star Robert Pattinson.

The British musician, who likes to stay tight-lipped about her private life, admits that she doesn’t engage with ‘fame’ despite being in the public eye.

During an interview with The Sunday Times, the 27-year-old was asked whether or not she’d seen the 2008 film, which propelled her other half to fame.

Twigs – real name Tahliah Barnett simply responded, “no”, giving no explanation as to why she’d avoided the franchise.

The Two Weeks singer added: “I don't understand what the levels [of fame] are. I'm a bit naïve.

“I don't read Heat, for example. I don't engage in that world, even with myself, even with my own career.”

Twigs, who tends to avoid red carpet events and A-list parties, admitted that she doesn’t like to do what is expected of her and considered to be ‘average’.

She told the magazine: “I'm not the kind of person who goes to an exhibition on a Thursday night just because everyone is.

“It's so bad to be basic. I don't have an average day. I hate that kind of thing.”

While neither Twigs nor Pattinson have spoken openly about their relationship, the singer appeared to confirm that they were engaged back in April.
