Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe

omg it's only Monday and there's plenty of time for more CHAPPELL SOUNDBITES.

I swear I get shivers every time I open Twitter and read "Chappell confesses/reports/confirms".
 
The full quotes are on that linked tweet and I think her stances are completely valid. Let the QUEEN OF STROP live!

Roan carries more empathy for her conservative relatives and friends back home than people on the coast sometimes understand: “I have family that are very Republican, and they love me and I love them. It’s so hard for kids who grew up on the coast to understand why maybe I can … understand. And I understand all of it that was in me came from fear because I just didn’t know.”

At Gov Ball, Roan revealed to the audience that she had turned down an invite to the White House’s Pride Celebration…she dedicated the song to the Biden administration, protesting its involvement in the destruction of Gaza and death of civilian Palestinians. “We want liberty, justice, and freedom for all. When you do that, that’s when I’ll come,” she said. At her house, Roan tells me she had something “way worse” planned. She was originally going to say yes, show up, and then refuse to perform; instead, she would protest with some poetry. “I had picked out some poems from Palestinian women. I was trying to do it as tastefully as I could because all I wanted to do was yell. I had to find something that’s tasteful and to the point and meaningful, and not make it about me and how I feel. I don’t know if I’ll ever get that close in direct sight of the president ever in my life. This is my shot.” She talked it through with her publicist, who was supportive but made a point: “You f–k with the president and the government, your security is not the same, and neither is your family’s.”

People were confused: “I saw a couple of TikToks where they were like, ‘So she’s pro Trump?’ ” Roan’s face contorts into disgust. “It is not so black and white that you hate one and you like the other. No matter how you say it, people are still going to be pissed for f–king some reason. I’m not going to go to the White House because I am not going to be a monkey for Pride.”

On Joe Biden’s reelection campaign (at the time): “I’m pretty, ‘F–k the government, and f–k everything that’s going on right now.’ I don’t have a side because I hate both sides, and I’m so embarrassed about everything going on right now.”

Now that Kamala Harris is the nominee: “Right now, it’s more important than ever to use your vote, and I will do whatever it takes to protect people’s civil rights, especially the LGBTQ+ community. My ethics and values will always align with that, and that hasn’t changed with a different nominee. I feel lucky to be alive during an incredibly historical time period when a woman of color is a presidential nominee.”

Hmm - seems like the takes are more nuanced and thoughtful than the PopCrave soundbites would have us believe!

I hope she's fine too but she wanted to have an opinion and didn't like the response?

Famous people are going to have to remember that social media can keep you famous but it can also fuck you up. You don't get one without the other so they need to make their peace with it.

I suspect it's more that she's just learning this the hard way. She is young and it's a hell of a stratospheric, overnight rise she's had.
 
This has now spent six non-consecutive weeks at #2 without ever going to #1.

No idea if that’s approaching any kind of record or par for the course with streaming.
 
Some more 7"s are being made available next week. I wonder if that's a last ditch attempt to get it to #1.
