This dude gave an unexpectedly thoughtful and uplifting interview, which was really nice. A lot of these segments are "Out of touch news anchor tosses thoughtless cliche softballs to up and coming pop star he's never heard of" but this all seemed very engaging and genuine. A rare instance where I enjoyed both sides of this conversation.

Mark my words, Chappell will be a household name and an ICON in no time at all, just you wait!!!

I have to say I saw this was an ABC news interview and I was worried he might ask something kinda rude but this was such a respectful and sweet interview. I'm really glad she's getting more famous. My girl's gonna take over. Get out there and sing for the queers baby! <3

Lady Gaga was the first artist who made me feel heard in my sexuality. Chappel roan was the first artist to make me feel heard in my gender

The new Lady Gaga ready to conquer the world? She's got my vote!
