Recently, Chappell Roan—who became well-known with her song “Good Luck, Babe!”—sent a list of musicians who contacted her. She has found great benefit from their encouragement.
Among the first to approach Chappell was Sabrina Carpenter. They discussed their backgrounds and how each of them is managing celebrities. Others who were contacted were Charli XCX and Billie Eilish. Billie even declared that her favourite Chappell song is “Good Luck, Babe!”
Katy Perry counselled Chappell not to read social media remarks. Hayley Williams volunteered to chat anytime, and Miley Cyrus asked her to a party. Phoebe Bridgers visited Chappell to discuss handling fans; Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker went for walks with her.
After dinner with Chappell, the band Muna got advice on keeping low-key at airports from Lorde. Even Lady Gaga revealed her phone number; Chappell hasn’t phoned her yet as she gets anxious.
Chappell pointed out that few men in the arts had sought out to lend encouragement. She values the female musicians who have accompanied her during this fascinating period.
