Chappell Roan was the latest guest on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy and the interview is going to do NUMBERS as Chappell has been experiencing a meteoric rise in fame over the past year plus unlike anyone else in the business. During the Call Her Daddy 83 minute interview, Chappell Roan explained how one of her iconic ‘Hot To Go’ lyrics came from a HS bullying moment.
The lyric in question is “call me hot, not pretty” and it stems from a ‘mean girls’ moment back in high school. She says some HS mean girls didn’t realize she was standing near them when gossiping about her boyfriend, and by extension her.
Funnily, Chappell either couldn’t remember her boyfriend’s name from the time despite the incident being burned in her memory… Or maybe she didn’t want to blow up his spot… But she says the girls were saying something akin to ‘do you know who is dating Johnny Carolyn?… Oh, it’s Kayleigh Amstutz… Who is she? Oh, you know she’s like… she’s not hot, but she’s pretty.”
Chappel Roan says on Call Her Daddy that when she wrote ‘Hot To Go’ she wrote ‘call me hot, not pretty’ because “that was so ingrained in my heart of like ‘I want to be the hot girl.’” She added “I wasn’t hot in high school.” Alex Cooper’s response was blunt “whoever the f— (said that) was peaked, okay.”
Here’s the clip:
It’s pretty impossible to deny that ‘Hot To Go’ was the Song of the Summer last year. Chappell Roan was the main act at some of the year’s biggest festivals. She won ‘Best New Artist’ at the Billboard Music Awards, BRIT Awards, Grammy Awards, and the MTV Video Music Awards.
Another viral clip from the interview was Chappell explaining why she straight-up hates karaoke:
