It\u2019s been a whirlwind year for Chappell Roan<\/strong><\/a>, with several of her songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100 and massive crowds flocking to her festival performances across the country. As a breakout artist, Roan has been unapologetically challenging the \u201cnorms\u201d that often come with fame. During the 2024 VMAs, she continued to make her voice heard.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how the \u201cFemininomenon\u201d singer stood up for herself amidst the commotion of last night\u2019s award show, where she won Best New Artist.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, Sept. 11, Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz, was captured on camera telling off a photographer who reportedly shouted, \u201cshut the f**k up\u201d at or around the 26-year-old pop star.<\/p>\n A clip from the VMAs red carpet pre-show at the UBS Arena, later shared widely by fans on X<\/a>, shows the \u201cMy Kink Is Karma\u201d singer responding, \u201cYou shut the f**k up!\u201d while pointing in the direction of the heckler.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/gAoTf4mnsO<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 photo gala (@24metgala_) September 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n After stepping back to have her outfit adjusted, she added, \u201cDon\u2019t. Not me, b**ch!\u201d Roan\u2019s reaction prompted cheers and chatter on the carpet, with one attendee heard saying, \u201cYou tell \u2019em, girl.\u201d<\/p>\n In a later red-carpet interview with ET<\/a>, Roan explained, \u201cIt\u2019s just quite overwhelming and quite scary. I think for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying. And I yelled back. I yelled baaaack \u2014 you don\u2019t get to yell at me like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Chappell Roan reacts to being yelled at by photographers on the #VMAs<\/a> black carpet: “The carpet is horrifying, and I yelled back!” pic.twitter.com\/SqUbGdBhnm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Entertainment Tonight (@etnow) September 11, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In a conversation with Bowen Yang<\/strong> for Interview Magazine<\/em><\/a> published on August 19, she emphasized that, despite her radio and streaming success, she has \u201cnever given a f**k about the charts or being on the radio.\u201d She added, \u201cI\u2019m just like, \u2018F**k you guys for not seeing what actually matters.\u2019 A chart is so fleeting. Everyone leaves the charts. I\u2019m just like, \u2018This is giving valedictorian.’\u201d<\/p>\n On the same day, Roan took to TikTok<\/a> to discuss the pressures that come with fame in a video that has since gone viral. \u201cI don\u2019t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever. I don\u2019t care that it\u2019s normal,\u201d she began in the clip.<\/p>\n Do not assume this is directed at someone or a specific encounter. This is just my side of the story and my feelings. <\/p>\nWhat Did Roan Say on the Red Carpet at the VMAs?<\/h2>\n
