Here’s Proof Chappell Roan Predicted Her Grammys Win 13 Years Ago

Years before winning big at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Chappell Roan manifested the larger than life part she would play during music’s biggest night.

After the “Pink Pony Club” singer received the Best New Artist trophy at the annual awards show, a video resurfaced of Roan, 26, competing at the Springfield’s Got Talent show contest.

“I want to win a Grammy,” Roan (born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz) said in the clip from 2012. “That is my goal and I’m going to do whatever it takes to get it.”

During the awards presentation, Roan walked away with a giant trophy and a $1,012 cash prize. Little did she know she would be receiving a Grammy 13 years later.

“Congrats to @chappellroan on her dream come true!” the Springfield Oasis in Missouri wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 3. “From the Oasis stage to the Grammy stage, it has been an honor to witness the rise of this Midwest princess. 👏 👏 .”

The 2025 Grammy Awards was a special night for Roan, who also had the opportunity to perform inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

After walking the red carpet in a Jean Paul Gaultier Couture gown styled by Genesis Webb, Roan delivered an unforgettable acceptance speech after winning Best New Artist.

“I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and health care, especially to developing artists because I got signed so young, I got signed as a minor,” she said while reading from a diary. “When I got dropped, I had zero job experience under my belt, and like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in the pandemic and could not afford health insurance.”

After feeling “betrayed by the system,” Roan used her voice to ask record labels to take care of their artists.

“If my label would have prioritized artists’ health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to,” she added. “Labels, we got you, but do you got us?”

Following an unforgettable night, Roan reflected on all the support she received from voters, fans and industry members who made her album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, a success.

“Thank you to every single person who gave me the courage to keep pushing this project forward, against all odds,” she wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, February 4. “This is for you *✲☆⋆(˘ᴗ˘).”
