Chappell Roan reveals her stance on the 2024 presidential election... following backlash for not endorsing a candidate

Chappell Roan clarified her stance on the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election after garnering backlash for not endorsing a candidate.

The Good Luck, Babe! songstress, 26 - who revealed she's been diagnosed with severe depression - took to her TikTok page on Tuesday to explain that her past comments were 'taken out of context.'

The star was slammed by fans after she failed to endorse Kamala Harris over Donald Trump during a recent interview with The Guardian, and stated 'there's problems on both sides.'
At one point during the nearly three-minute video, Roan - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - expressed, 'Hear it from my mouth, if you're still wondering. No, I'm not voting for Trump.'

'And yes, I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people, and I will stand up for what's right and what I believe in, and it's always at the forefront of my project.'
She also explained, 'I have encouraged people to use critical thinking skills, learn about what they're voting for, learn about who they're voting for and ask questions, and it's being completely taken out of context, per usual.'

'There is nuance in what I say in interviews, and I think it's important that people use critical thinking.'

Chappell added, 'I think it's important for me to question authority and question world leaders, and question myself, question my algorithm, question if some person that tweeted something about someone else is even true.'

'It's important to question because that's how I think we move forward,' the performer continued.

'This is my third election in voting and the world is changing so rapidly, and I want to be part of the generation that changes things for good.'

Roan then told her followers, 'If you come to my shows, if you read my full interviews, if you literally know anything about what I stand for, you know that this is not lip service.'

'This is not virtue signaling, that my actions have always paved the way for my project and the people who really know me.'

She further explained, 'Actions speak louder than words and actions speak louder than an endorsement.'
The TikTok clip - which has currently raked in 2.2 million views - comes after the singer drew ire from fans after she failed to endorse either candidate in an interview with The Guardian published last week on Friday.

Roan said, 'I have so many issues with our government in every way. There are so many things that I would want to change.'

She added she 'doesn't feel pressured to endorse someone' because 'there's problems on both sides.'

'I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote—vote small, vote for what's going on in your city.'

She added her top issue is trans rights, because 'they cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people, period.'

Fans took to X to reveal their disappointment over her decision saying: 'I love Chappel but this one has been TOUGH to get over because it's so uneducated.'

Another wrote: 'every time Chappell opens her mouth again she gets worse and worse.'
