Get up, babe; Chappell Roan has been Kidz Bopped. This previous summer time, Chappell raced via the typical markers of superstardom with a velocity that will by no means be replicated. Positive, she set the VMA stage on fireplace with a literal flaming arrow and yeah, she may need courted the largest crowd Lollapalooza has ever seen, however nothing—nothing—says “this particular person has actually made it” fairly like getting a Kidz Bop cowl.

The pop singer went full rock star with a raucous cowl of Coronary heart’s “Barracuda” throughout a present in Council Bluffs, IA final evening. You may watch that efficiency under:
