Chappell Roan breaking barriers in the Pop Music Industry

If you’re not living under a rock, then you must have heard the song, ‘H-O-T-T-O-G-O’ and if you haven’t, well, it’s 26-year-old Chappell Roan, the Femininomenon who has taken the world by surprise.

From introducing herself as ‘Your favourite artist’s favourite artist’ at Coachella to being praised by major artists from the music industry like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodriga, Charlie XCX and more, she became a social media sensation in 2024.

‘The Rise and Fall of the Midwestern Princess’ the album that marked her debut in the music industry, released in 2023 but didn’t enter the Billboard Top 100 until Summer 2024. But, music isn’t the only thing that made her world famous, since her music has been out there for more than decade now. Well here are some reasons why she is so iconic: 

 

No one can resist relating to her music: 

If you need a coming out anthem, there's ‘Femininomenon’. Just experienced, love at first sight, there’s ‘Red Wine Supernova’. Maybe you are entering a revenge era, then there’s ‘Good Luck Babe!’ Just one album of her has a song for all, songs that transcend all types of genders and relations.

Shocking the world by walking the VMAs red carpet in her iconic red hair, a velvet robe and a sword! Her fashion taste has always been over the top that screams her drag inspiration. For example she went to the NYC Governor’s Ball dressed as the Statue of Liberty. 

 

Inspired by the biggest entertainers: 

If there's someone more entertaining than celebrities, it's drag artists and she has mentioned it from time to time. Even in her acceptance speech at the VMAs while accepting the ‘New Artist of the Year’ she thanked all the drag artists out there for inspiring her throughout the years. The influence is so much that the phrase, ‘Your favourite artist's favourite artist’ comes from a Drag queen named Sasha Colbey who said she is ‘Your favourite Drag queen’s favourite drag queen.’ 

 

Setting boundaries like no other celebrity:

The ‘Kink is my Karma’ star has made it very clear from the start that she is uncomfortable with clicking pictures with fans. She was seen scolding a photographer on the VMAs red carpet for shouting “Shut the hell up”. Her strong statements and a sword in her hand made her point very clear.
