ILY, Iggy!!!! Signed, THE WORLD.

After Man Crush Monday and ~~Transformation~~ Man Crush Tuesday (#SorryNotSorry) comes Woman Crush Wednesday, and today we're setting our lady-loving sights on Ms. Iggy Azalea!

Not only is the Australian rapper (by way of Miami) performing "Fancy" with special guest Charli XCX at the 2014 mtvU Woodie Awards this Sunday, but her "Bounce" video's even nominated for Best Video.

Guh, the I-G-G-Y is so damn F-A-N-C-Y, and we're sure #YouAlreadyKnooow why. Still, that's not gonna stop us from entering full-throttle fanatic mode! Just in case you live under the most basic rock of all time ever, here's why we're permanently crushing on Iggy Azalea.

First things first...

...She's the rillist! Well, that was easy. Let's continue.

Second things second...

Iggy Azalea's got one of the strongest "Work" ethics on the music scene. After moving from Australia to Miami at the age of 16, she's been work-work-work-work-working on her sheeeeeeet ever since. With her debut LP, The New Classic, dropping on Apr. 22, it looks like it's definitely paid off.

Third things third...

...Not only that, but Iggy's even got one of the most coveted treasures known to man, woman, or child: the Beyoncé co-sign. The "Impossible Is Nothing" rapper opened for the "Partition" singer's "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" stop in Sydney last year.

Fourth thing's fourth...

...Not to incite some apocalyptic Stan-on-Stan warfare, but... Iggy gives better leg than Angelina Jolie BYE.

Fifth things fifth...

...Iggy's got her nail game on lock. Remember that she got some leopard-print nail art inspired by "The Nanny" done with MTV Style? #NEVERFORGET

Sixth things sixth...

...ICYM the 2013 MTV EMA, Iggy totally slayed "Blurred Lines" onstage with Robin Thicke, doing the once inescapable song of the summer justice.

Seventh things seventh...

...Iggy's basically a lyrical murderer, and the fact that the authorities have done NOTHING is truly outrageous. ("Won't somebody puh-LEEEEZ think of the lyrics!") I mean, lines like "I kill pride/ I hurt feelings" in "Murda Bizness"? THAT. IS. COLD.

Eighth things eighth...

...Iggy Azalea is just as obsessed with the '90s-teen classic, "Clueless," as we are, AND WE ARE, LIKE, TOTALLY BUGGIN'.

Ninth things ninth...

...Ummm, did we mention that Iggy's gonna be performing her latest single, "Fancy," with special guest Charli XCX onstage at the Woodies this Sunday? We did? WELL, WHY NOT SAY IT AGAIN.
