Chappell Roan MTV VMAs red carpet incident explained

Roan graced the VMAs 2024 red carpet in New York, sporting a medieval-inspired sheer gown with a long mint-green cape, a cross necklace, a sword, and thigh-high boots, embodying knight energy. As she entered the red carpet to pose for photos, someone from the crowd yelled, “Shut the f*** up.”

Roan was quick to respond to the inappropriate behavior of a photographer, turning around and shouting, “You shut the f*** up!” Her angry reaction stunned the crowd, but she resumed posing for photos, maintaining her composure. The incident drew significant attention, with fans curious about her outburst.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Roan explained her reaction, stating that the red carpet experience was “overwhelming” and “horrifying.” She shared that she often feels anxious when people yell at her without reason, prompting her fiery response. “The carpet is horrifying, and I yelled back. You don’t get to yell at me like that,” Roan said.

Roan’s VMAs night was a success. She won her first-ever award for Best New Artist of 2024 at UBS Arena in New York. In her acceptance speech, she thanked her family, friends, and fans. Roan dedicated the award to the queer community. She stated, “I dedicate this to queer and trans people that fuel pop. To the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love — or hate” (via People).

Roan, known for her energetic and campy performances, received four nominations this year. These included Best New Artist, Push Performance of the Year for “Red Wine Supernova,” Best Trending Video for “Hot To Go!,” and Song of Summer for “Good Luck, Babe!” She performed on the VMAs stage for the first time, joining other stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Sabrina Carpenter, and Eminem.
