Chappell Roan's appearance at the VMAs was nothing short of remarkable. The 26-year-old singer stole the show with her fiery performance, which included setting fire to the stage with a flame-arrow crossbow. She commanded the stage like a seasoned icon, singing her breakthrough hit "Good Luck, Babe!" surrounded by an army of soldiers, all while donning head-to-toe armor.
But Chappell's VMA performance was just one of the many highlights of the night for her. She also took home her first major award for Best New Artist, solidifying her rise to fame. However, it was her comments on the red carpet before the event that had everyone talking.
In a video that circulated on social media, Chappell can be seen standing up to a rude photographer who shouted at her while she was posing for pictures. Off-camera, the photographer can be heard yelling, but Chappell wasn't going to let him get away with it. She confidently turned around, pointed her finger, and told him to shut up. Dressed in a queenly floor-length mesh dress with her hair adorned with ribbons, Chappell added with a flourish of her long nails, "Not me, b**ch."
Fans were quick to praise Chappell for standing up for herself, with many taking to social media to congratulate her on the moment. One fan even wrote, "I hope Chappell keeps yelling at men in public. It seems like no one wants to yell at men in public anymore." Others applauded her for entering the industry with a sense of self-worth and not enduring mistreatment for years before developing it.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight later that evening, Chappell explained her decision to hit back at the photographer. She admitted that the red carpet can be overwhelming and scary, especially for someone who struggles with anxiety. But she stood her ground and refused to let anyone yell at her like that.
Chappell's performance at the VMAs was truly unforgettable. She sang her hit song "Good Luck, Babe!" with passion and energy, leaving the audience in awe. Clad in yet another knight-like outfit with a chainmail hood, she accepted her Best New Artist award and took the opportunity to thank her family, friends, fans, and the LGBTQ+ community. She also had a special message for queer kids growing up in the Midwest, telling them to never let anyone tell them they can't be whoever they want to be.
Fans couldn't get enough of Chappell's incredible performance, with many calling it iconic. One fan even exclaimed, "Chappell Roan wanted to give us a popstar moment, and she gave us EVERYTHING."
Before the incident with the photographer, Chappell arrived at the event in regal attire, donning a 300-year-old robe. She even had one of her knights roll out a vintage carpet for her to pose on. As she continues to rise to fame, Chappell remains grounded and sets boundaries with her fans, as she has experienced harassment and stalking since her meteoric rise to fame this summer.
In a recent Instagram post, Chappell opened up about the need to set boundaries and reminded her fans that women don't owe anyone anything. She also spoke about experiencing non-consensual physical and social interactions and declared that she does not accept harassment in any form.
In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, Chappell shared her struggles with mental health and even revealed that she had attempted to take her own life. She opened up about her experience with hypomania and how it led her to realize that social media is fueled by mental illness. But thankfully, Chappell sought help and is now in a much better place mentally.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Chappell remains grateful for the support she received before her rise to fame. She continues to speak out about important issues and uses her platform to inspire and uplift others. As she continues to make waves in the music industry, one thing is for sure: Chappell Roan is a force to be reckoned with.
