Taylor Momsen isn't afraid of a little controversy.

"I'm an extremist and I very much enjoy pushing the boundaries when it comes to fashion," Momsen told Us Weekly at the Kids' Choice Awards in April. "I don't care what people have to say about my style. Fashion's not for everyone. I'm not asking you to wear it."

After announcing her Gossip Girl departure in May, Momsen said she's finally able to focus 100% on her music career.

"It's all I ever wanted to do with my life," she told Us. "I wanted to make records and tour, so it's very exciting that our first record is coming out and people can actually hear it."
