Chappell Roan has issued a statement about her 2025 Grammys speech. Earlier this month, the 26-year-old hitmaker advocated for record labels to support their up-and-coming artists by paying livable wages and health insurance while accepting the award for Best New Artist during music’s biggest night. Now, she’s released a statement amid lots of talk about her statements. Keep reading to find out more… On her Instagram Story over the weekend, Chappell shared, “Sharing my personal experience on the Grammy stage wasn’t meant to be a crowdfunded bandaid but a call to action to the leaders of the industry to step up, help us make real change and protect their investments in a sustainable way.” Her statement continued, “My mind will not be changed about artists deserving more than what’s standard in the industry. Random dudes are allowed to criticize my Grammy speech, but they best put their money where their mouth is, otherwise MOVE out of the way.” She then posted proof that she donated $25,000 to Backline, which “offers mental health resources tailored for music industry artists facing depression and other mental health issues.”
