Chapel Roan recently attracted attention after humorously critiquing a holiday episode of the television series “Glee.” The 26-year-old pop artist made her comments on Instagram while watching the episode titled “Extraordinary Merry” from Season 3. Despite laughing during her commentary, she expressed her discontent, stating, “This is the worst episode I’ve ever seen” before deciding to stop watching it.
Shortly after her initial remarks, Roan posted a lighthearted apology video where she acknowledged the potential backlash from “Glee” fans. Sitting in front of a decorated Christmas tree, she addressed those she might have offended, claiming, “I love every episode of Glee and I love Kurt and Blaine,” referring to the characters portrayed by Chris Colfer and Darren Criss.
Roan’s relationship with “Glee” is somewhat recent, as she shared with her audience during a live performance earlier this year that she had only recently started watching the show. She humorously recounted her struggle to get through it, indicating that she had to attempt viewing it several times before embracing its unique style.
In addition to her playful engagement with pop culture, Roan has had a prominent year in her music career. She concluded 2024 ranked No. 1 on Billboard’s Top New Artists chart and achieved significant success with her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Her rising fame is further highlighted by her entry on the Billboard Hot 100, where she earned her first top 10 hit with “Good Luck, Babe!” reaching 4th place.
