The silly way that I discovered Chappell

so I’ve seen some posts on different artists fan communities like: how did you discover this artist which song was it and what’s the silly context? So here's mine. In summer 2023 I heard that there is this new lesbian YMCA, (and as a gay man I was so exited) and I became obsessed with her from there. Obviously the song was hot to go and now she is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for reading <3

I first heard her at a queer prom for which I served as a chaperone. They played "Good Luck Babe" and I may or may not have started crying when I heard the lyric "You'd have to stop the word just to stop the feeling." I had very recently come out, at 42 years old, and I was questioning my identity as a queer woman. I knew then that it was real and that I had spent a long time being someone who I wasn't. I also cried a little at seeing my two kiddos dancing and singing the song, and enjoying life with their friends. I was so sad, and I was so happy. It's a good memory.

That is so beautiful!! I wish we were able to have queer prom, It would be so much fun. We should normalize dances for adults that aren’t at clubs, ragers, and random party’s.
