Chappell Roan is the future of pop music. So excited to see what she comes out with next!

This interview feels so authentic, like she is not putting on a show, she is so real ❤

I find something about her beauty really captivating…her facial features genuinely look like a “Kayleigh from Missouri” - but that girl would typically dye her hair blonde, sing in a church choir, and have a really middle-class life. She would impress her group of “mom friends” with her karaoke skills at Michael & Susan’s wine night, and then her kids would whinge about how embarrassed they were on the way home, as she stares out the window and daydreams about another life where she got to be a star. I dunno…I just find her really alluring. The bright red hair, the drag makeup, the glamorisation of 80s pageants. It’s like looking at someone’s name, facial structure, and the state they come from, and going “oh…I know exactly who that girl is” - but her artistry completely subverts all of your expectations. It’s quite hard for artists to be innovative and unique in 2024, and she’s completely doing that, and the fact that she’s incorporating her Midwest roots into her story just adds to how interesting her artistry is.

I love her voice, her songwriting, her esthetic… everything about her.

She is so right about the preditory aspect of the music industry, So many young pop stars are targetted and exploited from small towns.

Tom did a great job letting us see who Chappell is. She was so relaxed and open with him, and he was prepared and a great listener and responded so kindly. She is going to be huge....

The comments here are kind of all over the place lol I want to stand up for Tom the interviewer. Americans might not know that Q is the eminent radio culture show and Tom is highly respected as a journalist and here in fact he is able to elicit so much authenticity and, introspection that she shares with us. I think it’s a great interview AND the whole topic of reappropriating drag was fascinating.

im glad pink pony club is getting the recognition and love it so richly deserved

She’s my fav. Her songs feel like my mania and I have to be careful lol. I always wonder how she manages to be Chappell when the bipolar depression is present bc I know what that’s like and it’s so hard to put on the act or people have seen manic me and think that’s me all the time but there’s this completely opposite side of me and then they’re shocked or not accepting and upset because I have a hard time being consistently the same human-even medicated and in therapy. It’s so smart of her to see Chappell as drag for mental health boundary reasons too. Idk how long she’ll decide to do music but I thank the universe she’s sharing her gifts with us for now. There’s no one else even close to what she does on so many levels.

I have the biggest crush on Chappelle Roan omgggg. She's totally my type. Amazing music, and I love her energy!

I just love her. I've been listening to her for the last few years, and love seeing her finally find this well deserved success. Great interview.

She’s gonna be huge

What a thoughtful, lovely person.

GOD SHE DESERVES ALLLLLL THE LOVE

love this interview!! I love the questions that Tom asks, he is clearly very thoughtful and compassionate. Thanks!

I'm a new Chappelle listener. She is a revelation. I love her 💜💜💜💜 great interview.

“In this industry, you really flourish if you DON’T protect yourself.” 😮 She’s spitting the truth in this interview. 🤌

She totally saved him with a very sweet answer when he said "After Midnight" and "Kaleidoscope" were said to be about her journey finding herself....I wonder if he listened to the record beforehand 🤔

Nice and onest Interview. You hear lot development in her songs since the beginning. It was somehow good luck to have a new label. New Album i can here in loops. Good vibes always. I also like her idea of protect your inner self by creating this stage figure. Looking forward for the concert in Berlin ❤

Man I'd love a Midwest Princess hat but I'm a balding dude and don't have the guts to wear a mesh back hat. Her acting really stands out in her performance. She's got a wide future, I'd love to see her in some sort of on screen capacity.

Love this interview. I keep loving her more and more. Tom does such a great job in creating (what seems to be) a welcoming and comfortable environment. Great questions

Excellent interviewer. I stumbled across My Kink is Karma not long ago and I find Chappell so fascinating!

I loooove her final thoughts ✨

this is one of my favorite interviews. she's so honest, and down to earth and her sharing her personal struggles and her stories and what she went through is inspiring but also so relatable. she's so incredibly strong and has such a wonderful spirit. i'm so happy for her success! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Saw her live on this tour and she was incredible!

Such a great interview. ❤

Why am I crying at the last like 4 minutes

loveee her brain

Loving Chappell so much. But who says working a drive-thru isn't hard?

she’s so awesome. i saw her Tuesday on halloween.

I feel so bad for Chappel, because I followed her for a long time so I can tell that It feels like the interviewer didn’t do research the person he was interviewing.Chappel roan is such an interesting and cool person. I’m just so sad that he didn’t dig deep in his questions. They felt very surface level.

Pop music is finally getting good again!

From the 70s and 80s, the pop stars who understood that the music biz wanted to kill them were the only ones to have long careers. My favorite example: Neil Young.

Chappell matching the host's energy and seeming so subdued this episode is almost jarring.

Oh HELLO! She won me with the opening sentences cuz FACTS “you reach success when you don’t take care of yourself” artists that give into easy climbage is the example of what she said

felt like he tried to feed her an answer with every question

God help me why couldn't I be served at the drive thru window by Chappell Roan? I was in Springfield at that time too! 🤦‍♂️

There is a level of just baseline empathy that I think the younger generation I think take for granted in their media spaces. Im only 36 but I can tell you from watching this interview that if this was 20 years ago in the normal morning zoo radio format this interview would have been just a parade of misery. This is the kinda thing that keeps me hopeful.

It’s shocking how unsurprising it is that industry manipulation of minors in contracts

A few years as a drag assistant I realized that drag covers any art form that pivots upon a put on affect, an alternate identity. Which is when the unpopular realization that clowns are also drag

Crayola was also Raja's original drag name

Peace Love Cool

She deserved a better interviewer. She’s so talented and such an interesting person.

Cmon Tom . Try questions that arent purely vacuous.

What did she go through with that old company? I dont really understand what happened

she reminds me so much of a young wise katy perry

no naked in manhattan? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :(

Vurry Midwest

I feel like the interviewer is a bit out of his depth😅

What a tragic interview she looks so bored 😭

I love her music but I have never disliked a person more…… she as a person is SUCH bad vibes
