After winning the best new artist award at the VMA, Chappell Roan declared that winning a Grammy is not exactly your goal. In an interview with The Facethe singer explained her feelings about the award and made it clear that fame brings a complex set of challenges for her.
I kind of hope I don’t win
During the interview that took place this Monday, September 16thChappell, 26, said she’s not so excited about the idea of taking home a Grammy.
I kind of hope I don’t win. Because then everyone will stop bugging me. ‘See, guys? We did everything and we didn’t win, so bye!’ I won’t have to go through that again!
I just want to make music, express myself and help people feel free. If that doesn’t include a Grammy, that’s okay too.
Chappell Roan, who won the award for Breakthrough Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) this month, has been standing out on the pop scene with her authentic approach. Her acceptance speech for the Moon Personas the VMA trophy is called, was read directly from her diary.
Roan’s success has grown greatly since the release of his debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princessin September 2023. Part of what has taken her to the top are her live performances, which are true shows full of energy, with themes and even dress codes for the audience. Roan describes his shows as a “party,” where people can “sing, dance, dress and express yourself without judgment.”
Chappell Roan has also been open about the difficulties that come with fame. She has made it clear that if fame “get dangerous”she may even consider stopping: “This part is not what I signed up for”he said on another occasion.
In August, she took to Instagram to ask for more respect from her fans.
For the past 10 years, I have been on a steady pace to build my project, and it has come to a point where I need to draw boundaries and establish boundaries. I want to be an artist for a long, long time. I will not accept harassment of any kind just because I have chosen to follow this path.
