Chappell Roan has entered the chat, and she’s got some things to say—again. And this time, she’s saying it on TikTok, because where else can you broadcast life-altering revelations while simultaneously scrolling through people making pasta in their bathtubs?
Our beloved 26-year-old “Red Wine Supernova” singer—who, by the way, is basically a walking sparkler of opinions—has something to clarify. Once upon a time, she threw out a casual “Eh, I’ve got issues with the government” like she was talking about having issues with her Wi-Fi. People, naturally, decided to twist this into “Chappell hates democracy and lives off the grid in a yurt.” So, what does she do? Drops a TikTok bomb to set the record straight, of course.
First things first: she’s not voting for Donald Trump. Like, not even if the voting booth was full of puppies and free wine. Instead, she’s all about that critical thinking life. “Use your brain,” she practically begs, with the exhaustion of someone who just explained to a toddler that, no, we cannot eat crayons. “Look at who you’re voting for, read, ask questions!” (Subtext: Please, for the love of all things good, stop getting your political views from Twitter memes.)
She goes on to basically hand out free wisdom like it’s candy on Halloween. “Look, the world’s a hot mess right now. And yes, I’m over here questioning EVERYTHING. World leaders, algorithms, why my cat stares at the wall for hours…everything. And that’s how we make things better. Question, then question some more, and when you’re done questioning, maybe have a snack and question again.”
She then drops the mic: “This is my third election, y’all. The world is changing faster than I can keep up with, but I’m not about to sit on the sidelines knitting scarves and letting it pass me by. I’m here, I’m involved, and I’m ready to shake things up like a poorly made margarita.”
Oh, and for the skeptics: if you’ve ever even glanced at anything she’s done, attended her shows, or skimmed one of her interviews between YouTube makeup tutorials, you’d know Chappell Roan is no poser. “This isn’t just lip service,” she declares, as if anyone thought otherwise. “My actions speak louder than words, louder than a loudspeaker at a monster truck rally.” She’s got receipts, people. Actions over endorsements any day.
And just in case you missed it the first time (or maybe you were distracted by a viral video of a raccoon doing parkour), she reiterates: NO, she is not casting a ballot for Trump. Yes, she will continue to question every single person who’s calling the shots, from political leaders to that barista who keeps misspelling her name. And most importantly, she’s standing up for what she believes in—no TikTok filter necessary.
Chappell Roan, using her platform to remind us that voting is serious business, even when it’s wrapped in a viral video. Let’s just hope she didn’t film it while doing one of those dance challenges.
