Chappell Roan is “The Giver,” but she won’t be giving fans her political opinions.
During a Wednesday appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with host Alex Cooper, Roan slammed fans who expect her to share her personal political opinions.
Roan asked why “are you looking to me for some political answer? … I’m a pop star. I wish I had the answers, I wish the president was a pop star, but she’s not” as Cooper added “you’re like, ‘listen to my song” in response to backlash.
Last year, Roan addressed pressure from fans to discuss politics in two interviews. The first was with Rolling Stone, where she said she doesn’t “have a side because I hate both sides.” Then, she doubled down on this sentiment in an interview with The Guardian.
“I don’t feel pressured to endorse someone,” Roan said. “There’s problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote – vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city.”
