Chappell Roan made a grand entrance at her first Grammys. The singer stepped out on the red carpet, wearing a yellow corset ball gown by Jean Paul Gaultier with Degas dancers printed on it. The vintage was worn by Beyoncé in the April 2003 issue of ELLE. She accessorized with a dramatic yellow, white, and teal headpiece.
Roan has nominations in some of the night’s biggest categories. She is up for Record of the Year (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Album of the Year (The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess), Song of the Year (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo Performance (“Good Luck, Babe!”), and Best Pop Vocal Album (The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess). She’ll also be performing during the show.
Roan reflected on her feelings ahead of the awards ceremony on Instagram, and shared how much work she put into her performance prep.
She wrote on January 29, “Hey girls I just woke up. Good morning booboos. It’s Grammy week. I am very emo. My heart feels warm and fuzzy with all the support I have been given this past year. I hope you can understand that this has been incredible and scary and spiritual and confusing. I’ve been crying tears of joy and grief and feeling loved and lonely and free. Ultimately, I am grateful for every one of you who gave my music a little spin and showed your ass up to shows and festivals. Because y’all are rockstars I feel like a rockstar :) Damn I am cheesy lowkey. Whatever anyway; I love the performance we’re preparing for you all. And girl no matter what, just know when I’m up on stage, all I’m really feeling in my heart is love to the queer community especially those in places where it is unsafe to be yourself. I see you <3 tootles xox.”
