Chappell Roan - your favourite artist's favourite artist - is hot-to-go right now following her multiple Grammy Award nominations at next year's prestigious ceremony. With more than three billion streams on Spotify (after just one album!), Chappell has come a long way from her religious, super-conservative upbringing in Willard, Missouri. But she's no overnight sensation. For ten years now, singer-songwriter Kayleigh Rose Amstutz has been hard at work mastering her musical craft and sculpting her drag queen alter-ego into the magnificently-manicured masterpiece we marvel at today. Now, is Chappell's time to shine, and we all can't wait.
Witty, wise and wickedly refreshing, this tiny tome celebrates all that is fantastic about Chappell Roan, as told by the Midwest Princess herself through 175 of her most iconic interview quotes, plus a sprinkling of glittery trivia too, obvs.
Only one question remains: Are you bitches ready for it?
SAMPLE TEXT
"I'm very turned off by celebrity. Some girls have been in this so long that they're used to that, but I'm not that girl. I'm not gonna be a sweetie pie to a man who's telling me to shut the fuck up. If you're an asshole, I'm gonna be like: 'Yo, fuck off.' You don't get to talk to me like that. I'm confrontational."
Chappell Roan
"I feel like I'm just being my 10-year-old self. This whole project is to honour my 10-year-old self. My whole persona is just me trying to honour that version of myself that I was never allowed to be."
Chappell Roan
