CHAPPELL Roan has slammed VIP concertgoers for refusing to let loose during a show, inspiring a hilarious trend on TikTok.
The singer was performing at the Outsidelands Music Festival in San Francisco, California, when she took a shot at her fans.
A fan in attendance at the show shared a TikTok video of Chappell, 26, on stage performing her hit song Hot to Go.
She danced around the stage for a moment before grabbing the microphone and skipping down the stage.
“It’s so weird how VIP thinks they’re so way too cool to do this,” she said.
The Pink Pony Club crooner stopped at the far end of the stage and shouted into the microphone, “You’re not fun!”
“Chappell Roan called out the VIP section for not doing the hot to go dance,” the fan captioned their post.
Fans familiar with the song know it includes a dance in which fans use their arms to spell out H-O-T-T-O-G-O during the chorus.

75,000 people are believed to have attended the festival.

“I’m just being honest that I’m having a hard time today. So, I’m sorry that… I’m not trying to, like, give you a lesser show. It’s just…there’s a lot going on. That’s all,” she added.
Fans in the audience held their arms in the air, making hearts with their hands in a show of support.

A clip of the vulnerable moment was posted online, where fans in the comments sent kind words.
“Awww it’s ok to be overwhelmed,” one fan posted on X.
“…Dude, this is so real. Girl has had a WILD few months. I hope she takes however much time she needs to get back in her zone. We’ll wait, the music is that good,” another gushed.
“She should know that she could show up and just sit there and breath and I would still be satisfied. She’s a legend, hope she realizes that she can allow herself to rest and relax,” a third wrote.
“Wish her the best,” posted a fourth fan.
