Chappell Roan has a message for her pretentious fans: It’s time (and hot) to go!

The Robert Brownsinger-songwriter (real name Kayleigh Rose Amstutz) had some pointed words for the VIP section during her Aug. 11 concert at the Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco.

“It’s so weird that VIP thinks they’re so way too cool to do this,” the 26-year-old announced to the crowd following a tutorial of the popular dance that accompanies her viral hit song “HOT TO GO!” 

As seen in a TikTok from the event, Roan chided, “You’re not fun!” 

The crowd erupted in applause and cheers while Roan, who has shared that her on-stage persona is akin to and inspired by drag queens, ran across the stage in the sparkly marching band-style outfit she wears in the song’s music video.

“Be fun and try!” she encouraged the audience members before giving them an ultimatum. “Do it or I’m calling you on stage!”

This isn’t the first time the “Pink Pony Club” artist, who has exploded in popularity over the summer, has been brutally honest from stage. Earlier this month, she called out an unnamed ex before performing her breakup hit “My Kink is Karma” at the Lollapalooza music festival.

"I dedicate this song to my ex who was bragging that they dated me at the bar in my hometown," Roan said at the Aug. 1 show. "This is a message for your fiancée: You should break up!"

The “Good Luck Babe!” singer has also used her platform to be vulnerable with her fans about the difficult side effects of her sudden fame.

"I just want to be honest with the crowd. I just feel a little off today because I think that my career is just kind of going really fast and it's really hard to keep up,” Roan shared with a concert crowd in Raleigh in June. “I'm just being honest that I'm just having a hard time today."

And while she confessed that embodying her larger-than-life persona is “very exhausting,” she told Vanity Fair in September 2023, “That version of me is really fun to play.”
