Another user commented, “Chappell roan opened her gov ball set by projecting a giant “am i gay” quiz onto the jumbotron, popped out of an apple in full green body paint as the statue of liberty, told the white house to go f–k themselves, and played a new song, and this is why she is the moment.
Yet another user wrote, “Chappell Roan came out on stage dressed as the Statue of Liberty demanded freedom for women/trans people + occupied territories, + called out the White House directly for having the audacity to invite her to perform for pride.”
In addition to her statement, Roan also debuted her new song, ‘Subway,’ during her performance at Governors Ball.
