Chappell Roan Issues Video Statement Defending Not Endorsing a Presidential Candidate, Reiterates There Are ‘Problems on Both Sides’
Chappell Roan posted a video statement on TikTok doubling down on her refusal to take a side in the presidential election.
After controversy erupted over the weekend about an interview in which Chappell Roan said she would not be taking a side in the 2024 presidential election, the pop star doubled down on her nonpartisan stance in a video statement Tuesday night, declaring she “will stand up for what’s right and what I believe in” — even if that involves declining to favor a candidate. Roan has not brought up Israel’s actions in Gaza in the video statement or any of her most recent interviews, but many of her fans have defended her non-endorsement of Harris on that basis — while others have expressed upset that she would not stand up for the side that is clearly most sympathetic to LGBTQ and specifically trans rights. In her June appearance at the Governors Ball festival, Roan announced that she had turned down a request from the White House to perform there in celebration of Pride Month.
