Pink Pony Club changed everything for me, says Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan admits that 'Pink Pony Club' changed the course of her career.
Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' "changed everything" for the pop star.
The 26-year-old singer released the hit single in 2020, and she admits that it's changed the course of her life.
She told the BBC: "That song changed everything. It put me in a new category.
"I never thought I could actually be a 'pop star girl' and 'Pink Pony' forced me into that."
Despite this, Chappell's record label failed to see the song's potential and she was eventually dropped amid cost-cutting measures.
The singer subsequently returned to serving coffee in a donut shop - but Chappell doesn't look back on that period with any regrets.
The pop star - who saw a surge in the song's popularity following the release of her debut album, 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess', in 2023 - said: "It absolutely had a positive impact on me.
"You have the knowledge of what it's like to clean a public restroom. That's very important."
Chappell has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years - but the singer previously admitted that fame can feel "abusive".
She told The Face magazine: "I feel like fame is just abusive.
"The vibe of this - stalking, talking s*** online, [people who] won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public - is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband. That’s what it feels like.
"I didn’t know it would feel this bad."
On the other hand, Chappell still loves getting positive feedback from her fans.
The 'Femininomenon' hitmaker said: "I can’t read my DMs anymore, because I cry so much.
"But when people are like, ‘Whatever you’re doing, it helped me’ - I don’t think any award or any money or whatever can be exchanged for that compliment. I don’t care about anything else, except giving space to people to be free. Because that’s what I needed so bad: freedom."
