Do you know that songs are now super-short to stream and is why they don’t have the time to build bridges? Then, Chappell Roan was to “The Tonight Showdressed as a drag-bird and subtextually called everyone who doesn’t use bridges is a fool. On June 20th, Roan sang “Good Luck, Babe!” at midnight to her first performance and the apex of her performance came when she started at the bridge “When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night / With your head in your hands, you’re nothing more than his wife.” In the midst of a plethora of fake fog, a thick hairdo, long nails and feathers on her face. Roan looked directly at the camera, and was positively terrified of the woman that she had been singing to. Then, she arose and sang the last chorus with a sigh of despair (and an unwavering voice). We’re not the best at mapping We’re fairly certain that’s how you reach the heights of superstardom.
