Chappell Roan was awarded Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammys, delivering a powerful acceptance speech urging the music industry to offer livable wages and healthcare for artists. She emphasized the necessity of treating artists as valued employees, especially those starting their careers. Roan, who released her debut album in 2023, was nominated for five other prestigious awards, showcasing her rapid rise. Her performance of 'Pink Pony Club' featured vibrant imagery, creating a memorable moment during the ceremony.
I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stay up here in front of the most powerful people in music I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists.
Record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection. Labels we got you, but do you got us?
