Chappell Roan's Surprising Grammy Thoughts

Chappell Roan recently won the Best New Artist award at the MTV VMAs, generating excitement about her potential Grammy win next year. However, she isn't overly thrilled about it. In an interview with The Face, Roan expressed, “I’m kind of hoping I don’t win, because then everyone will stop bothering me: ‘See, we did it and we didn’t win, bye!’ I won’t have to go through this again!”

The artist behind "Good Luck, Babe!" acknowledged that her mother would love to attend the Grammys or the Brit Awards. Roan’s debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, released in September 2023, has been a major success, featuring hits like "Hot to Go!" and "Red Wine Supernova." Despite her rapid rise in the mainstream, she has experienced challenges, including unwanted fan attention.

“I’m focused on making this sustainable,” she said. “That’s my main goal right now. My brain is telling me to quit and take next year off.”

In June, during a concert in Raleigh, N.C., Roan took a moment to share her struggles. “I feel a bit off today because my career is moving really fast, and it’s hard to keep up,” she explained. “I’m just being honest. This is everything I’ve ever wanted, but it can be overwhelming sometimes.”

She told The Face, “This industry thrives on mental illness, burnout, and overworking. You become more successful the unhealthier you are. Isn’t that so messed up?”

Roan emphasized that she grapples with these issues daily. “The ambition is: How do I not hate myself, my job, and my life while doing this?” she reflected. “Right now, it’s not working. I’m just trying to find a way to feel healthy.”
