Sheryl Crow Gives Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo & Phoebe Bridgers Their Flowers: ‘Caliber of Writing Is Just So Good’

Sheryl Crow gave serious props to Chappell Roan, Olivia Rodrigo & Phoebe Bridgers for their songwriting prowess and vowed to keep calling Congress.

And though she’s lived in Nashville for more than two decades, proud progressive Crow said she’s well aware that her habit of tweaking conservatives doesn’t always make her popular in the city that’s a blue dot in an otherwise deep red state that overwhelmingly went for Donald Trump in all three of the presidential elections he’s participated in. So the singer who famously announced in February — long before the current spate of protests, sell-backs and arson attacks — that she was selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR is finding her own way to quiet the red noise around her. Asked what she imagines her reps think when they get a fresh voicemail from the Grammy-winner every single work day, Crow said, “I do think, ’Are they laughing?’ But it’s like what Jimmy Carter said: ‘As long as there’s legal bribery, we won’t ever have fair elections.’ So we have to keep raising our voices and showing up to these organized rallies.”
