Watch Chappell Roan’s fiery MTV VMAs debut performance

Chappell Roan delivered her debut performance at the MTV VMAs last night (September 11) – you can watch it below.

This year’s ceremony took place at the UBS Arena in New York, and was hosted by Megan Thee Stallion

Roan took home one of the biggest prizes of the evening, winning Best New Artist. She was nominated in four categories overall. Check out the full winners list here.

During the show, the former NME Cover star showcased her hit 2024 single ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ – which earned a nod in the Song Of The Summer list.

The theatrical performance began with Roan walking through the gates of a medieval castle. Donning knight’s armour, the singer turned back and fired a burning arrow from a crossbow.

She then played the upbeat ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ in front of the blazing set as a group of knights brandished swords while they danced around her. Tune in here:

Elsewhere at the MTV VMAs, Roan hit back at a photographer who seemingly told her to “shut the fuck up” on the red carpet.

Ahead of the ceremony, the rising artist faced some criticism after she confirmed that she would be cancelling two European shows due to “scheduling conflicts”. She later posted images of herself in rehearsals for the VMAs.

The singer recently shared an update on her “super weird” upcoming second album, which will follow last year’s ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’. So far, she has around five or six songs ready for her project.

“We have a country song. We have a dancy song. We have one that’s really Eighties, and we have one that’s acoustic, and we have one that’s really organic, live-band, Seventies vibe. It’s super weird,” she told Rolling Stone.

Roan is scheduled to play a run of sold-out UK and Ireland shows this month, kicking off in Manchester tomorrow night (September 13).

Nicki Minaj Goes Off On Reporter For Allegedly Smelling Like "French Fries" And "Hot ASS"

Nicki Minaj went off on a reporter on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after he asked her a question about "unity." She had been speaking with DTLR radio host Fadam Got Da Juice when she argued that everyone will always have disagreements with one another. “Do we have unity amongst human beings? Like, if its eight billion people in the world, imagine thinking all eight billion people gon’ get along with each other,” Minaj explained. “I used to be a waitress. It was a bunch of people not getting along in there. I mean, no matter where you go, you’re going to be at odds with people. I think the point, though, is when you get to a place where nothing around you affects what’s inside of you.”

When Elliott Wilson congratulated him on landing the interview, he wrote back: "She ducked the smoke on the question man. I had to take the shot though." Minaj eventually caught a repost of the comment online and wrote in response: "The obsession. Only thing I ducked was his fkng breath. Smelled like a double portion of 4 wings & some french fries hot ASS & ketchup n****."

When The Shade Room shared the back-and-forth on Instagram, many of Minaj's fans came to her defense. "He asked a question she answered it. He then tried to be funny on the internet and she came back funnier. Play stupid games win stupid prizes," one user wrote. Another added: "How did she duck the question? I’m just starting to believe ppl brain just shut off every 5 secs. Lol. How yall not keeping up?"
