Chappell Roan was one of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards winners and delivered one of the night’s most powerful messages.
The “Good Luck, Babe” singer took the trophy for Best New Artist and dedicated the win to the queer community.
“I dedicate this to all the drag artists who inspire me. And I dedicate this to queer & trans people that fuel pop,” Roan said as the star read from a diary.
Roan continued, “And for all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now, I see you, I understand you because I’m one of you. And don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you want to be b***.”
