Chappell Roanwon her first ever Grammy Awardon Sunday night,the erotice review 338354 beating out formidable artists such as Sabrina Carpenterand Doechii to take the title of Best New Artist. She also took the opportunity to call for record labels to provide artists with health insurance and a livable wage.
Taking the stage in a conical hennin hat befitting her flamboyant style (though she quickly lost it), Roan began her acceptance speech in the standard manner, thanking her supporters, collaborators, and family. The "Good Luck, Babe!"singer had no intention of squandering her platform though, seizing the opportunity to direct attention toward working conditions in the music industry.

A few others such as Taylor Swiftwere already on their feet in response to Roan's win, but remained standing during her statements.
Reading from pre-prepared remarks, Roan recounted being signed to a label as a minor, then being dropped and having to search for employment while having "zero job experience."
"Like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in the [COVID-19] pandemic, and could not afford health insurance," said Roan. "It was so devastating to feel so committed to my art, and feel so betrayed by the system, and so dehumanised to not have health [insurance]. And if my label would have prioritised artists' health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to."
"So record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection," Roan continued. "Labels, we got you, but do you got us?"
Roan's comments were widely applauded both in the room and on social media, where many praised the singer for raising the issue.

Chappell just won Best New Artist and is reading for filth her former label & the entire music industry for exploiting developing musicians, not providing a sustainable living and healthcare, and all the artists are standing up with her. My wife says she just Luiigi Mangion’d the record industry.

Chappell Roan dedicating her accepting speech to the fight for fair treatment, healthcare, and accountability from big labels to protect the next generation of new artists is why I’m so happy for her. She’s not only talented, but a great person.

Chappell taking her moment to call out the industry's and her own label's mistreatment of artists and crew & asking them to consider livable wages and healthcare - that's how you use it.

Though Roan was nominated for six Grammy Awards, she only ended up taking home the trophy for Best New Artist. Yet as always, she was sure to make the most of her time on stage.
