Chappell Roan is 'Feeling Emo' Ahead of the Grammys

Singer Chappell Roan is up for a slew of Grammys, and the impending awards night has got her in her feels.

"It's Grammy week. I am very emo," the "Good Luck, Babe!" singer declared at her Instagram, along with posting a "just woke up" photo that showed her glorious red locks in bedhead disarray. "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, Roan went on to add – not an unexpected comment, given her previous outpourings about her conflicted feelings around her newfound fame (and handsy fans) and her dropping out of the All Things Go music festival last September due to "things hav[ing] gotten overwhelming" for her.

"I've been crying tears of joy and grief and feeling loved and lonely and free," Roan shared in the January 29 Insta post. "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 yall are rockstars I feel like a rockstars :)"

The singer, who has dazzled audiences live as well as on television, indicated that she had something special up her sleeve for the awards ceremony, posting, "I love the performance we're preparing for you all."

Roan, who identifies as queer, ended with a special shout out to her LGBTQ+ fans.

"And girl no matter what," Roan declared, "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".

The post isn't the first time Roan has made a point of acknowledging the queer community. When she won the VMA award for Best New Artist last September, she turned her acceptance speech into a powerhouse address thanking trans recording artists and offering hope to LGBTQ+ youth.

"I dedicate this to queer and trans people that fuel pop," Roan declared, "[and] to the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love – or hate!"

Roan "is one of only 15 artists to be nominated for The Big Four – Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best New Artist – at the same ceremony," Uproxx noted, and although she's expressed ambivalence toward claiming a Grammy or four, there's no denying she is one of the most exciting new artists on the music scene – and Grammy night will have an extra charge thanks to her.
