Winning a Grammy isn’t at the top ofChappell Roan’s priority list right now.
In a Monday, Sept. 16 interview withThe Face, the singer-songwriter revealed her thoughts on the upcoming Grammys Awards.
Although, she added that “my mom would love to go to the Grammys or the BRITs.”
She continued, “And thank you to the people who are fans, who listen to me, who hear me when I share my joy and my fears. Thank you. For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now: I see you. I understand you because I’m one of you, and don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you want to be.”

Roan released her debut albumThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princessin September 2023 and has since skyrocketed to fame. Part of what’s drawn fans to Roan is her energetic and campy live shows, which come with dress codes and themes.
“I think people like to party and I think my project feels like a party,” she previously toldPEOPLE. “I think that people just want to be happy and reflect, sing, dance and dress up, and feel free. The project gives people an opportunity to express themselves without judgment and freedom to discover themselves in the same way that I feel like the project allows me to discover myself.”
Since her rise, Roan has also been open about her struggle with fame. On Aug. 23, the singerposted a message on Instagram, asking fans to respect her boundaries regarding “nonconsensual physical and social interactions.”
“For the past 10 years l’ve been going nonstop to build my project and it’s come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries. I want to be an artist for a very very long time,” she wrote.
“I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don’t owe you s—," she continued. “I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
