Chappell Roan

Chappell Roan is genuinely one of the most exciting things to happen to pop music in years, and I say that as someone who's watched a lot of "next big things" fizzle out. This small-town Missouri girl, born Kayleigh Amstutz in Willard, built her whole aesthetic around camp, drag culture, and sheer theatrical nerve — and the result is something that feels completely fresh without being try-hard about it. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hit in 2023 and just kept spreading like wildfire through 2024, turning her into a bona fide phenomenon. What gets me is how she managed to make stadium-sized pop anthems that still feel personal and a little weird in the best way. She's not playing the industry game on anyone else's terms.
