Chappell Roan is back on the Grammy Awards red carpet, showcasing her unique style in a stunning backless burgundy gown that not only matched her hair but also highlighted a significant tattoo. This striking outfit, secured by nipple piercings, is garnering attention as she prepares to collect more accolades.
Roan is nominated for two prestigious awards this year: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit song “The Subway.” This follows her win last year for Best New Artist, during which she used her acceptance speech as a platform to demand better health care access for artists within the music industry.
“I told myself that if I ever won a Grammy and got to stand up here before the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and health care, especially to developing artists,” Roan passionately stated. Her experience as a young artist highlighted the challenges of navigating the industry, especially after being signed as a minor.
She shared her struggle of being dropped by her label, emphasizing the lack of job experience she had at the time and how difficult it was to find employment during the pandemic, leaving her without health insurance. Her heartfelt message resonates with many, as she stressed the importance of treating artists as valuable employees entitled to fair compensation and health benefits.
With her bold fashion statement and unwavering advocacy for artist rights, Chappell Roan is not just attending the Grammys but is also making a significant impact in the music industry.
