In 2024, Sapphic Stars Ruled Pop Culture
When Chappell Roan accepted her MTV Video Music Award for best new artist in September, she had a message for “all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now.” “I see you, I understand you because I’m one of you, and don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t be exactly who you want to be,” she said, channeling Joan of Arc in a chain-mail ensemble. Less than two months later, on “Saturday Night Live,” Roan, who has had a rocket-ship year, debuted her lesbian country song “The Giver,” about how only women know how to truly pleasure women.
