She may have just posed for a jaw-droppingly fierce new magazine cover shoot, but FKA Twigs reckons she’s really a traditional girl at heart.

The 27-year-old singer claimed that she’s looking to settle down with a husband and kids and has no ambitions to be part of the world of fellow star Taylor Swift and her “squad”.

Speaking about how Taylor interacts with her fans, Twigs – real name Tahliah Barnett – told Paper magazine: “I think Taylor Swift is great, but I wouldn’t necessarily think, ‘Oh my god, I have to be friends with her’.

“When I meet fans, they’re quite creative and intelligent, kind, sensitive. Some are old ladies, witch doctors from Louisiana, kids that have just left art school. Gay or lesbian couples, straight middle-aged couples…” she explained of her own fans’ unique qualities.

Twigs, who is dating Twilight star Robert Pattinson, said her Gloucestershire upbringing had given her different ambitions.

“I’m quite traditional. You know that saying, ‘You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl?’

“I grew up in Gloucestershire, and there’s a certain format that people fit into. And I’m actually quite happy with that format.

“I’m quite happy to say, ‘Go to school, work hard on your GCSEs, do your A-Levels, get married, have children. Send your kids to a nice school. Make sure you’re in the right catchment area’,” she said, although she remained tight-lipped on who that future husband could be.

Showing off her toned figure in a bodysuit, Vivienne Westwood flatform shoes and little else, the Two Weeks singer said she doesn’t keep her sexiness on the down-low on stage.

“I throb. Do you know what I mean? I have that throbbing energy, and I accept it, and I harness it when I need to. It’s not even a conscious thing.”
