This actress provides examples of:
- Actor Allusion:
- One of her songs is called "Lie A Little Better"
- "Nervous Girls" references a girl named Hanna who is "so damn scared to eat". Hanna Marin of Pretty Little Liars had a marked fear of gaining weight in the early seasons.
- Big Ol' Eyebrows: Her eyebrows are noticeably thick and dark.
- Breakup Bonfire: The protagonist of "That's What I Call Crazy" makes one in the bathtub with pictures of her ex as kindling.
- Break-Up Song: "Goodbye Gone", "That's What I Call Crazy", and "Just Another Song."

and Privileged. Lucy also sings in the movies Sorority Wars and A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song. She now has an album out. - Celebrity Resemblance: She herself pointed out that she resembles 4 people: Mila Kunis, Maisie Williams, Sarah Hyland and Selena Gomez.
- Dawson Casting: When Lucy was in her early 20s, she often played teenage roles.

- One Head Taller: Lucy with her Pretty Little Liars co-star Brant Daugherty whenever they have a scene on the show together.
- Perky Goth: On Pretty Little Liars. Aria appears to have also been this before Alison disappeared. Miranda, her Wizards of Waverly Place character was one too.
- Romance on the Set:
- She dated David Henrie from Wizards of Waverly Place for a brief time. This is even more interesting because she played his girlfriend on the show for a couple of episodes.
