Chappell Roan Reveals She’s Not Eager to Win a Grammy During Interview in London, Prefers to Avoid the Pressure of Award Shows

In a recent chat with The Face on Monday, September 16, Chappell Roan shared her current feelings about the Grammys, and it turns out, winning one isn't exactly her top priority.

“I’m kind of hoping I don’t win,” the 26-year-old singer-songwriter admitted during the interview. “Because then everyone will get off my back. 

It’s like, ‘See guys, we did it and we didn’t win, bye!’ Then I won’t have to go through this again!”

Despite her reservations, Roan mentioned that her mom would be thrilled to attend the Grammys or the BRIT Awards. 

Earlier this month, Roan took home her first Moon Person at the MTV VMAs for Best New Artist. Her acceptance speech was a heartfelt moment, as she read it directly from her diary.

“I dedicate this to queer and trans people who fuel pop music,” she said, after expressing gratitude to MTV, her team, family, friends, and the “drag queens who inspire” her. 

Roan continued with a powerful message for her fans: “Thank you to everyone who listens to me and supports me. 

For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now: I see you.

 I understand you because I’m one of you, and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you want to be.”

Chappell Roan's debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, which was released in September 2023, has catapulted her into the limelight. 

Fans are drawn to her high-energy, themed live performances that feel like a celebration.

“I think people like to party, and my project feels like a party,” Roan shared.

“It’s a chance for people to be happy, reflect, sing, dance, dress up, and feel free.

The project allows people to express themselves without judgment and gives them the freedom to discover who they are, just as I feel like I’m discovering myself through it.”

Since her rise to fame, Roan has been candid about the challenges she faces. 

On August 23, she took to Instagram to address her fans about respecting her boundaries regarding “nonconsensual physical and social interactions.”

“For the past 10 years, I’ve been working non-stop to build my career, and now it’s time for me to set some boundaries,” she wrote. 

“I want to be an artist for a very long time.

 I just need to remind everyone, women don’t owe you anything. 

I chose this career because I love music and art. I do not accept any form of harassment because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
