"Did you not know who I was before?" And when she put her hand on the table right before she explained the Sasha Colby reference HAD to have given him flashbacks to Rupaul saying "DRAG QUEEN?!?!?!" 💀💀💀

[KeyanaTahmaseb]

the way she kicks her feet up, giggling and clapping is

[MelissaNgai]

"it feels like I was right all along" was the BEST answer to such a mid question lol

[OrangeMan-dswz]

Lady Gaga ran so Chappell could sprint. The world is finally ready for the level of high camp that LG once served, and I'm here for I love that she can be herself and face much less tabloid and media backlash. The space has been carved, and she's had the baton passed to her. She's fuckin' GOING places.

She is so charismatic it's unreal. THIS is a star, baby. So grateful to be alive to watch her meteoric rise to fame.

[Blueberriboy]

“It’s this random twink at google” that killed me 😭😭😂😂😂

[danieldavis]

The fact she credits Sasha is SO professional and amazing. She could have lied and rode that her whole career. That just shows that she loves and respects the art.

[hex_gurl]

as a fan from 2020, i ALSO feel like “i was right all along” 😭 ive been boots on the ground since she was working at that donut shop and now she’s here and im so happy for her she deserves it 😭 also she is AMAZING live, so grateful i saw her in september 2023 because i will never see her in a tiny club performing again

[sofia_fia]

She is so iconic for wearing whatever she wants I love her so much

[Megpie]

Someone said “if Chappell Roan isn’t your favorite, you haven’t heard her yet” and it made me look her up. Well, that person was VERY right. She’s amazingly talented

[mateorufo]

i’m 82 years old and i’ve searched my whole life for someone like Chappell Roan

My teenage daughter introduced her to me, and she is amazing! She is unique and super talented.

Chappell saying the word "twink" on late night television just added 20 years to my life
