How a drag persona helped “Midwestern Princess” Chappell Roan free herself from a strict Christian upbringing to become a queer pop powerhouse.
How a drag persona helped a 25-year-old singer-songwriter with a strict Christian upbringing transform herself into a queer pop powerhouse
“Midwest Princess” forms a narrative arc not totally unlike Roan’s own life. Most often, she writes candid stories of hookups and situationships gone wrong, all inspired by her daydreams and longing. But she also embellishes these tales — particularly if “the real story” is “too boring … or too sad, and we need to make it something more campy,” she says.
“Touch me baby, put your lips on mine/ Could go to hell but we’ll probably be fine,” Roan sings to a girl she’s crushing on in “Naked in Manhattan.” She first experienced living openly as a queer person in L.A.
And although her persona has allowed her to explore her identity in a way she might not have felt comfortable doing otherwise, it’s also been a “double-edged sword,” she says. She’s not the flirty, lewd, tongue-in-cheek Chappell Roan she is in her songs.
