In just a few months, she went from a struggling artist to getting three billion plays on Spotify, netting her almost 11 cents. This underscores how rapidly fame can come, but also how challenging the industry can be for artists like Chappell Roan.
Chappell, if you think it was repressive growing up queer in the Midwest, try the Mideast. You're a female drag queen and you sing: 'I f**ked you in the bathroom when we went to dinner, your parents at the tables'. That wouldn't fly in Gaza, although you would - straight off a roof.
For his older viewers, Maher went on to explain who Roan was, joking that she was 'not the name of one of Trump's golf courses [but] actually a great new recording artist, who - like a Hezbollah pager - is really blowing up.' This illustrates Maher's characteristic humor intertwined with political commentary.
New rule to mark the October 7 anniversary: we must launch a campaign to educate young Americans about the Middle East, and the way I'd like to begin is with an open letter to Chappell Roan.
