Most musicians dream of winning a Grammy, but there’s only one award Chappell Roan is aiming for.
Most musicians dream of winning a Grammy, but there’s only one award Chappell Roan is aiming for. The 26-year-old pop artist has had a meteoric rise into superstardom this year. Her debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” topped the Billboard 200 Chart, only second to Taylor Swift; she performed to record-breaking crowds at festivals like Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits; and she won best new artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. So what better way to cap off her mega year than by winning her first Grammy Award? With Recording Academy voting closing on October 15, Roan appears to be a shoo-in for a best new artist nomination, among other top categories. But she has said she doesn’t care about accolades. “I’m kind of hoping I don’t win, because then everyone will get off my ass,” she said in a recent interview. She has also said she doesn’t pay much attention to the buzz around her recent career success. “I’ve never given a f**k about the charts or being on the radio, but it’s so crazy how industry people are taking me more seriously than before,” she said this year in Interview magazine. “I’m like, “I’ve been doing this the whole time, bitch.”
