Chappell Roan is at it again, and some fans can’t get enough. During her recent performance at Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands, the rising pop star stopped mid-show to call out audience members in the back for not joining in on one of her signature dances.
“It’s so weird people in the back aren’t doing it,” Roan quipped into the mic, sparking laughter and gasps from the crowd. Refusing to let it slide, she restarted the dance and made sure everyone, front row to back row, got on board the second time around. The moment, captured on TikTok with the caption “Chappell calling people out again,” quickly went viral as fans debated whether her sharp commentary was hilarious or harsh.
The clip lit up social media, with one commenter joking, “She just got a bad attitude. Like her music but she’s a red flag.” Others rushed to defend her, pointing out that calling out the crowd is part of her drag-inspired stage persona. “People complaining don’t understand drag queens are meant to read you. She’s playing a character, let her be mean!!!” one fan wrote, while another chimed in, “Guys, she does it every show. It’s literally a bit.” Some concertgoers even said they love when she leans into the playful sass. “I don’t know, I love when she does this, like, yes, yell at me,” a fan commented.

This isn’t the first time Chappell has gone viral for snapping back at the crowd. Fans will remember her fiery red-carpet moment at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, when a heckler yelled “shut the f-ck up” as she adjusted her Y/Project gown.
Without hesitation, Chappell spun around and screamed, “You shut the f-ck up!” before shutting the heckler down with a final clapback: “No. Not me, b-tch.” The savage exchange earned her cheers from onlookers and quickly spread across social media, solidifying her rep as an artist unafraid to bite back when someone crosses the line.
