Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music In one of several headline-grabbing moments from her epic set at New York’s Governors Ball festival on Sunday, fast-rising singer Chappell Roan revealed that she turned down an offer to perform at a White House Pride event. “In response to the White House, who asked me to perform for Pride,” Roan, dressed in a glammed-up Statue of Liberty costume that exposed her backside, said directly into a video camera broadcasting onto the festival’s giant screens.
“We want liberty, justice and freedom for all. When you do that, that’s when I’ll come.” A rep for the singer confirmed to Variety that the White House had reached out to Roan via her management and was declined.
oh i fucking love chappell roan. pic.twitter.com/sWZD1LEUIU Referencing her costume, she continued later, “I am in drag of the biggest queen of all,” she said to cheers and laughs.
“But in case you had forgotten what’s etched on my pretty little toes, ‘Give me your tired, your poor; your huddled masses yearning to breath free,'” she said, quoting the poem written on the 1903 bronze plaque in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. “That means freedom and trans rights, that means freedom and women’s rights, and it especially means freedom for all people in oppressed” — she paused, apparently tearing up — “for all oppressed people in occupied territories.” However, the seriousness of her statement was slightly undercut by her abrupt change in tone when saying “Thank you! OK, we’re gonna do ‘Hot to Go!’’”chappell roan not only talking about but getting emotional while speaking about all the oppressed people on occupied lands oh let me stan immediately pic.twitter.com/EgfLXkB2tI Her performance, which lit up social media on Sunday

Few things make us as happy as watching the ascension of a new pop superstar! Love @ChappellRoan!!!
‘Short ‘n Sweet Tour’ won’t be so short after all.Sabrina Carpenter just announced she’s adding an additional New York stop to her upcoming nationwide trek.In addition to headlining at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Sept. 29, she’ll now also take center stage at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center the following night on Monday, Sept.
Chappell Roan just did her first late night talk show interview and it was everything we hoped it would be!
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Fast-rising pop singer-songwriter Chappell Roan made a memorable appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” Thursday, wearing a wild feathered black outfit for her chat with the host before donning a completely different feather-bedecked dress to perform her latest single, “Good Luck, Babe!” Her performance of the song was vivid, as she showed off her formidable vocal range on the final “I told you so!” segment of the song from a surreal garden-like setting, which begin and ended with her singing while seated on a throne shaped like a white swan. The interview — her first on late-night TV — was lively from the start.
“Mad Men” star Jon Hamm no longer wants to be your leading man—or at least, that’s the title of a new Hollywood Reporter story on the actor and where he’s at with his career. While Hamm didn’t necessarily go away in the ensuing years after “Mad Men,” he apparently was offered a lot and was picky about it.
Sabrina Carpenter is on top of the world this summer and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Sabrina Carpenter has covered Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ For BBC Radio One’s Live Lounge.The ‘Espresso’ chart-topper stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Lounge earlier today (June 18) and performed her newest single ‘Please Please Please‘ and sang a stripped-down rendition of Roan’s ‘Good Luck Babe’.Her cover of Roan’s song began with an acoustic version of the track’s intro, turning it into a ballad before bringing the tempo up back to its original pop sound. The singer previously told Rolling Stone that she’s had ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ on “loopty loop.”pic.twitter.com/eD1P5vToPO— Media SCBR (@mediascbr) June 18, 2024Elsewhere, Carpenter is set to release her sixth album ‘Short N Sweet’ on August 23 via Island Records.Last week, she gave ‘Please Please Please‘ its live debut at Gov Ball in New York.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Sabrina Carpenter performed her two songs of the summer candidates, “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” along with a cover of fast-rising labelmate Chappell Roan’s latest single “Good Luck, Babe!” for BBC Radio One’s Live Lounge on Tuesday. Carpenter’s version of the song, which starts at around the 20-minute mark below, starts off low-key and near-acoustic, but gathers steam on the second verse as the band and backing singers join in.
Chappell Roan is on her way to becoming one of 2024′s biggest music stars!
“This is all I've ever wanted. It's just heavy sometimes,” breakout pop singer Chappell Roan told the crowd at a show in Raleigh last week, pausing a choreographed set of bombastic queer pop anthems.
Janelle Monáe, Chappell Roan, MUNA and more have been announced as part of the inaugural New York edition of All Things Go Festival.The festival, which has traditionally curated women-focused and LGBT+ inclusive lineups, will arrive to New York on September 28-29 at Forest Hills Stadium.Though it’s normally hosted in Columbia, Maryland, All Things Go has since expanded outwards to other cities such as Washington, D.C..Set to join Monáe, Roan and MUNA are Reneé Rapp, Ethel Cain, Towa Bird, Julien Baker, Holly Humberstone, Samia, Del Water Gap, Soccer Mommy, Mannequin Pussy, and more.Check out the full lineup for All Things Go below and get any remaining tickets here.A post shared by All Things Go (@allthingsgo)Previous headliners of All Things Go include Lorde, Bleachers, Mitski, Billie Eilish, HAIM, Charli XCX, St Vincent, Maggie Rogers, and CHVRCHES.It was recently announced that MUNA’s Naomi McPherson was to make their acting debut as Janis Ian on ‘SNL 1975’.The film centres around the first episode of Saturday Night Live, which aired in October 1975, focusing in particular on the behind-the-scenes moments before it first came to the small screen. Ian appeared on the show as one of its first musical guests, alongside Billy Preston, who will be portrayed in the film by Jon Batiste.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The four founding members of R.E.M. performed together publicly for the first time in nearly three decades at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony in New York on Thursday night, playing an acoustic version of their breakthrough song, 1987’s “Losing My Religion.” With characteristic understatement, the group — singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry — showed their respect for the honor and the institution, their friendship and decades-long bond, and in gracious terms, fans, family, friends, and everyone who helped them along the way.
.Ever since , it feels like the entire world has memorized the "Hot to Go" choreography and all the words to “Pink Pony Club.” Roan was hardly obscure before that star-making moment (there's a reason she booked Coachella in the first place), but the aftermath has been intense. Her April single “Good Luck, Babe!” marked Roan's first to the Billboard Top 100 and her September 2023 album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, recently hit the top 10 of Billboard’s album sales chart for the first time.On June 12, Bonnaroo announced they'd be from a tent to a main outdoor stage to accommodate a larger crowd.

If you missed Chappell Roan’s headline-making performance at Gov Ball this past weekend, there’s still time to catch the electric performer later this summer at New York’s All Things Go Festival, which will take place at the city’s iconic Forest Hills Stadium in September.
Chappell Roan is doubling down on the comments she made about “freedom for all” while performing at Governor’s Ball.
All Things Go Festival is coming to Forest Hills Stadium for two days of pop, rock and R&B.Top of the line headliners on this year’s bill include Reneé Rapp, Chappell Roan, MUNA, Janelle Monáe and Julien Baker.They’ll be joined by big names like Ethel Cain, Holly Humberstone, Maisie Peters, Soccer Mommy and Del Water Gap.In total, 16 huge acts will perform at the two-day festival and if it’s half as fun as Chappell Roan’s set at Gov Ball, fans are in for a treat.If you want to be there, two-day general admission passes are available as of today.Fans can purchase All Things Go passes on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, June 14.Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.At the time of publication, only two-day All Things Go passes are available.Keep an eye on this link to see if single-day passes sprout up.For those closer to Columbia, MD, All Things Go is going down at the Merriweather Post Pavilion over the same weekend.Single and multi-day passes for the extravaganza — which has quite a bit of overlap as well as stars like Conan Gray and Hozier on the bill among others — can be found here.As noted above, 16 huge acts are headed to Queens in late September.For a closer look, here are all the artists set to perform at the NY edition of All Things Go:A post shared by All Things Go (@allthingsgo)Need more music in your life?Here are just five of the biggest artists we can’t wait to see live in the Big Apple these next few months.• Tate McRae• Charli XCX with Troye Sivan• Gracie Abrams• Kacey
Chappell Roan tickets, that makes two of us.The eccentric, red-haired singer-songwriter is blowing up and for good reason, as her festival appearances are more like full-fledged concert experiences, combining amazing vocals, costume changes, danceable choreography and even a few heartfelt messages over the course of her short set time.As a result, the way Roan drives crowds to music festivals around the country has become a phenomenon — or “Femininomenon.” Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to score tickets to Gov Ball which had an all-star line-up of today’s heaviest hitters joining Roan like SZA, The Killers and Carly Rae Jepsen.Roan, 26, having just come from the sold-out Boston Calling Festival, was actually moved up in the Sunday lineup, kicking off a girl-powered celebration on the main stage along with Reneé Rapp and SZA to close out the final day of the fest. As the drone footage shows, it was a fully packed venue, and if you squint you’ll see a very excited Post staffer screaming with delight at the very front barricade.Once her set began, the Chappell experience was almost as religious as her name suggests.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Any New Yorkers who missed Chappell Roan’s iconic performance at Governors Ball last weekend will get another chance in September, when the inaugural New York edition of the All Things Go festival takes place at Forest Hills Stadium. Headliners are Roan, Reneé Rapp, Janelle Monáe, Muna, Ethel Cain, and Julien Baker.
