45 million monthly listeners on Spotify. That is 10 million more than The Beatles right now. 60th overall on the top list of plays just above Michael Jackson. Half the amount of TSwift

So they are a well known artist.

Her music is infectious. Think 80’s Madonna if she were progressive, very lesbian, and even sadder and somehow more vengeful than Alanis Morissette

I know of Chappell Roan because she's recently been ruffling people's feathers by asserting boundaries against fans' parasocial weirdness; I've never heard any of her music, but this alone is enough to make me a fan.

Here's her NPR Tiny Desk Concert

Edit: her music video for 'Hot To Go' shot in her Missouri hometown https://youtu.be/xaPNR-_Cfn0

And for the Elton fans, her cover of 'Your Song' https://youtu.be/wslno0wDSFQ

Fucking spot on.

She's not that young, she's been doing music for a decade and working service jobs till now. And you can understand something and still feel it is unacceptable.

I agree with the core of what you’re saying except I disagree that she “doesn’t understand” how slowly politics works. I think her decision to vote for Harris anyway speaks to that kind of understanding, else she’d endorse a third-party candidate/write-in in a poor attempt to speed-run democracy.

She’s young and doesn’t understand that government doesn’t get fixed in a day.

I'm old and I'm still waiting for the government to be fixed.

She's been getting a lot of hate for not endorsing Harris and people fail to realize the difference between endorsing and voting. Her entire point is that the government can't be fixed in a day. Voting for Harris is the obvious choice but her being in office isn't going to magically solve all our problems.

Yeah I get it. I was young once and I’ve even had to have the bitter realization that even Revolution neither happens in a day nor resolves anything quickly. I ask for the passion of the young to hold hands with the wisdom of us older folks. It’s easy to demand sudden change, and important too, but building bases of power are important.

Vote for Kamala then hold her feet to the fire. Vote in every primary. Discuss what you think with people around you when it comes up, I know I’m the annoying pro trains girl at work. Build the support and make those maga losers afraid to show their faces.

And entertainers can do so much. Cobain got people who wouldn’t otherwise thinking of homophobia as uncool for example

She has a really good queer pop album.

One of the biggest pop stars currently. Here she is setting the record for largest crowd of all time at Lollapalooza in Chicago this summer.

starting to get big. you've probably heard her music on the radio recently if you tune into a pop station. she's got some good stuff!

Don't be so proud of your ignorance. Just look it up.

She's voting for Kamala but not endorsing her.

This was my take on it. She is a big Star, I figured she would have learned to just ignore the fanatics by now. She just comes off so frustrated in the video. We didn’t see Taylor Swift writing up a response every time fans demand it.
