Celebrities That Love Chappell Roan: Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo

She’s your favorite artist’s favorite artist! Chappell Roan has become a “Femininomenon” in the pop world, and your fav celebrities are just as obsessed with her as you are. From Ariana Grande to Olivia Rodrigo, keep reading for a list of all the artists who have praised the singer.

Born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz on February 19, 1998, in Willard, Missouri, Chappell’s musical journey is deeply rooted in her personal history. Adopting her stage moniker as a tribute to her late grandfather, Dennis K. Chappell, who succumbed to brain cancer in 2016, her music carries an emotional resonance that resonates deeply with audiences.

“I think Chappell’s a drag-queen version of me because it’s very larger-than-life,” she said of her stage name during a 2023 interview with Vanity Fair. “Kind of tacky, not afraid to say really lewd things. The songs are kind of the fairytale version of what happened in real life. A lot of the songs are just enhanced versions of what happened or maybe they never happened at all.”

Chappell’s affinity for music blossomed at a young age, and she began showcasing her vocal prowess through covers when she was 14 years old, garnering attention from discerning ears and industry insiders alike. This early recognition paved the way for a record deal with Atlantic Records.

The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer relocated to Los Angeles in 2018, and would soon find her frequent collaborator/producer in Dan Nigro, who is renowned for his work with Olivia Rodrigo.

Despite her 2020 hit “Pink Pony Club,” Atlantic actually dropped Chappell from their label. Over the next two years, she worked odd jobs to support herself. But in 2022, she made a comeback with songs like “Naked In Manhattan” and “Casual,” launching her own tour. Signing with Island Records under Dan Nigro’s imprint Amusement Records and KRA International, she finally released her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, in September 2023.

Since then, she’s become pop music’s biggest thing — selling out shows, culminating huge audience turnouts at popular festivals such as Coachella, Boston Calling and Gov Ball. Not only that, some of the most popular names in music have started to praise the larger-than-life songstress.

Miley Cyrus

Miley and Chappell aren’t just fans of one another, but also friends! The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer revealed that the Hannah Montana star invited her on a night out.

“Miley invited me to a party, and I was like, ‘You don’t know that you were my first concert when the Jonas Brothers were opening for you,’” Chappell revealed to podcast host Drew Afualo in July 2024.

Sabrina Carpenter

“I’ve been just as obsessed with her as everyone has,” Sabrina said of Chappell during an interview with Rolling Stone from June 2024.. “It’s so weird when you’re hanging out as two young women as opposed to thinking about when she goes onstage and is that person and when I go on stage.”

Charli XCX

After being asked by Jake Shane if there was any artist Charli had on the radar, the “Yuck” singer said Chappell!

“I just think she’s doing something a little different, which I think is really cool,” she told the podcast host in May 2024. “I just think she’s gonna have a lot of longevity as an artist, and I don’t think its just about this one moment. She seems really smart, she has taste, she has references, she’s being herself, not conforming — I just can see her career being long and fruitful which I think is cool because I don’t think there are enough people who are thinking outside of the next song they’re releasing.”

Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia and Chappell’s friendship goes way back, as they both work with producer Dan Nigro. Not only that, the Midwest Princess has opened for the “vampire” singer on both of her SOUR and GUTS world tours.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, Olivia revealed that Chappell was her top artist on her Spotify Wrapped roundup for the year. “My Spotify Wrapped just came out. I think my number one artist was Chappell Roan. She just put out her first album, and Dan, my producer, produced it, and it’s amazing. So I’m listening to a lot of her. And I think number two was Simon & Garfunkel,” she dished.

Elton John

While Chappell appeared on Elton John’s Apple Music radio show in May 2024, the “Rocketman” singer praised the songstress, as he last spoke to her one year ago (prior to her whirlwind rise to pop fame).

“Since then, your journey has kind of accelerated, especially recently,” he said, adding that the album “is doing so brilliantly.”

“I rang you the other night and said, ‘Listen, I’m not stalking you, but I’m as excited about your album’s success as you are.’ It’s wonderful to see true talent being recognized,” John continued.

Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan might have been Chappell Roan’s earliest fan!

Tweets resurfacing their decade-old connection went viral in April 2024. One post, shared by @subwaymademecry, highlighted Troye’s admiration for Chappell, who was then known as Kayleigh Rose. The post, captioned “know your gay history !!!”, amassed nearly four million views. The first screenshot showcased a 2014 tweet by Troye promoting Chappell’s song “Die Young.”
