songs that have been around for 4+ years and she slowly built things up while nobody was paying attention. Nobody realizes Chappell had been on tour for 18 months when the issues of cancelling and such even started. Prior to the O Rod support slot her tour last fall had sold out in a couple days. She had been putting in the work and fine tuning it all. So thats why when people finally noticed they were like "why is this so good?" Its cause it had been getting perfected for quite a while. Not the first act to be this way. You know, if you want to look way back, Madonna didnt blow up until the same age Chappell was last year and that was 26. These werent teenagers who were on Disney shows and had that going for them. If you eant to be on the wrong end of the "why did I miss Chappell Roan when I had the chance" be my guest. Plenty of people did that back in April and they regret that dearly.
