Chappell Roan Performs Hit Song ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

The musical artist recently debuted on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show” and shared a giggly interview with the comedian TV host.

The 26-year-old artist talked about her quick rise to fame and shared how she felt when she started gaining fans. Chappell said she was even surprised when people started attending her concerts!

“I mean, I feel kind of like I’d made it already whenever I was like, ‘Oh my god, people showed up to my concert.’ It was like, people came? Everything else has been the cherry on top.”

She also shared how she found her way into the music industry, mentioning that she was working at a doughnut store and still in school when her musical career began. She added that if she had not succeeded in her career, she would have returned to school or had a “generic” life.

Of course, that didn’t happen, and the singer’s originality is helping her achieve international fame.

Chappell Roan’s Uniqueness

Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, known by her stage name Chappell Roan is a singer, songwriter, and drag queen. She is 26 years old, born on February 19, 1998, in Willard, Missouri.

She pulls her style from drag, horror movies, burlesque, and theater, stating that she loves to look “pretty and scary” at the same time.

Her stage name combines her grandfather’s last name, Dennis K. Chappel, and her favorite song, “The Strawberry Roan” by Curley Fletcher.

Chappell’s musical style draws influence from ’80s synth-pop and dark pop. Initially, her songs had another style, but she quickly changed it when she felt that it could become “boring” to perform “sad songs.”

“It’s not fun to go on tour and, like, be sad for months and months and months,” Chappell told Fallon. “That’s why I changed so hard to pop, pop, pop because it was so boring performing sad songs.”

Not only did Chappell Roan give a charismatic interview, but she also performed one of her hit songs, ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ a song that talks about trying to suppress sexual orientation.

Fun fact: This song was recently covered by successful pop singer Sabrina Carpenter! 

She was even compared to Lady Gaga by bringing to the table a black-to-white swan concept, long nails, and a big blonde curly wig. But the truth is that she is unique, and her songwriting skills are one of a kind. In fact, users in the YouTube comments made a whole conversation about it: “The Lady Gaga comparisons are never gonna end after this one,” “She is this decade’s Lady Gaga and I am living for it,” and “I love the comparisons, but I think Chappell is her own thing.”

So, there you have it! We might be seeing the birth of a new iconic pop star, and we are here for it!
