Wednesday, June 4, 2025, 23:44

Madonna, the eternal queen of pop, took the stage of the MTV music video awards with a new provocation in mind. Which snake of the Old Testament garden, offered the forbidden fruit to Eva and Eva –britney Spears and Christina Aguilera – in the form of a kiss. From this biblical pop scene of pop have already passed more than twenty years and the Z generation – which then dressed diapers – had been orphaned from its own pops of popular pop. Until now. The apostle was Billie Eilish in 2019. Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter and Charlie XCX form the Blessed Trinity. And his prophet, Chappell Roan.

The prophet

Chappell Roan
  • Age
    27 years (02/19/1998)

  • Place of birth:
    Willard (Missuri)

  • ‘Prime’ moment:
    In 2024, his song ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ He got the fifth position of the Global Spotify Top 50, an entire achievement in the industry

“Hello, I’m Chappell, I know you just landed … call me when you can”, so the start of his song ‘Naked in Manhattan’ breaks up. Although he is really originally from Missouri, Kayleigh Rose (1998) was artistically baptized as Chappell Roan, who combines his grandfather’s last name with his favorite song, ‘Strawberry Roan’ by Marty Robbins. And although it has not been until a year ago when it has become a “nascent star”, he began his career further back in a roller coaster trajectory, as his own personality.

Roan’s grew as an misunderstood within a Catholic family that did not understand or support his indiscreet style. He tells him in the song ‘Pink Pony Club’: «Mom will not be proud of me, she sees her girl … you were a pink ponies and now dance in the club.”

Like so many other artists of the present millennium, he began his journey on YouTube, making versions of his favorite songs. With only 16 years he composed his first single, ‘Die Young’, which reflects the internal struggle that the singer has experienced since she was a child and that was not until 21 when she obtained an answer to her self -destruction: the diagnosis of the bipolarity disorder for which she felt “a weird bug.”

Self -defined as flag bearer of the ‘queer’ movement, the aesthetics ‘Drag’ and the ‘Camp’ style, launched its first EP in 2017, ‘School Nights’. This launch coincided with his long -awaited freedom to move to Los Angeles, where he left the closet and defined himself as a lesbian: “I feel that I can be the one to be here,” he acknowledged in 2022 ‘Rolling Stone’. But the singer -songwriter did not reap any success and ended up expelling her from Paradise, in this case of the Atlantic Records record.

He played a background with a professional and personal ordeal, she was sacrificed by the implacable music industry and, on the third day, she resurrected as a prophet of the new female pop with ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’. He went from selling t -shirts to his face appeared in them, producer Dan Nigro gave him the gold pass and the public crowned her with feathers.

Chappell Roan set up his own ‘Pink Pony Club’ with a pink giant equine on the awards stage, where he took the award for best revelation artist.

But not only convinced for his music inspired by pop of the late last century with brave letters and high lesbian content. His visual and aesthetic identity, very influenced by the ‘Camp’ and the ‘Drag’ movement, appeared as another gospel to follow. He appeared in Coachella as a brilliant giant butterfly and monopolized headlines with a styling inspired by the 80s – curly pep, leopard meshes and a t -t -shirt that said “Eat Me” -. But it was she who devoured criticism and public. Days later, his song ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ “Where a woman is unable to assume her sexuality and recognize her love for her- she went viral on Tiktok, sneaking directly on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2024 the first recognition arrived, the prize for the revelation artist in the MTV Video Music Awards, which he took to dedicate to the LGTBI collective for being “his safe place and refuge.” And the following year he won the same award at the Grammy Awards, in a gala where he took the opportunity to portray himself with the rest of preachers in this New Testament.
