Following the incident, Roan was interviewed by Entertainment Tonight, where she spoke about her clash with the photographer: “It’s quite overwhelming and quite scary. I think for someone who gets a lot of anxiety around people yelling at you, the carpet is horrifying.”
Roan added: “And I yelled back. I yelled back! You don’t get to yell at me like that!”

Chappell Roan would go on to perform at the VMAs a few hours later, and was awarded Best New Artist – see the full list of winners here.
The incident marks the latest hurdle the ‘Hot To Go’ singer has had to face since her meteoric rise to fame throughout the course of the year. Roan recently spoke out against “weird” and “creepy” behaviour from fans, telling them: “That’s not normal.” She had previously made a promise to herself that she would quit music if “weird shit” started to affect her and her family.
Roan expressed wanting to “[pump] the brakes” on it after fans gave off “stalker vibes”. Her remarks earned her praise from Paramore‘s Hayley Williams, who took to Instagram to say the pop star was “brave”.
Since then, she has recently shared that a whole host of artists – including Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams, Katy Perry, MUNA, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, boygenius, Sabrina Carpenter and Mitski – have reached all out in support on the topic.

Ariana Grande is bringing some Wicked good makeup items to fans with her upcoming R.E.M. Beauty collection, which is inspired by the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical in which Grande portrays Glinda the Good Witch.
“I pulled inspiration for the collection from the stage show, the movie, and the books,” Grande told Vogue in a new interview of the collection. “I am very much a nerd who likes to document things, like my fittings and hair and makeup tests.”
The nine-piece collection includes eyeshadow palettes, metallic matte lipstick, lip stains and even a pH adaptive lip oil that changes colors depending on the wearer. All the colors have names that are “all very specifically and Wicked-ly Ozian,” she explained to the publication.
Grande also opened up about transforming into the beloved blonde character for the film, where she stars opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba the Wicked Witch. “We wanted to pay homage to the gorgeous Glindas who have come before me while also creating our own version,” she said, referencing Billie Burke in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz and Kristin Chenoweth in the first stage rendition of Wicked.
“My pop persona is such a characterized version on its own. Beauty really helped me deconstruct that person and find Glinda,” she added. “I just wanted to live in the DNA and mindset of the character. Now I love the color pink and it feels like part of me. I think it’s something I’ll be forever intertwined with in a very special way.”
The first part of the Jon M. Chu-directed adaptation of Wicked arrives in theaters on November 22, while the R.E.M. Beauty Wicked collection is set for release on October 1.
