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.
Chappell’s performance at Outsidelands drew a massive crowd of about 50,000 people, per an estimate in the San Fransisco Chronicle.
75,000 people are believed to have attended the festival.
The soundbite from the pop icon’s performance has inspired a larger trend.
SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ
Online, fans have been using the sound to call out people for various reasons.
Masie Peters used the sound to joke about boyfriends at concerts, captioning their video, “When the boyfriends in the audience don’t know all the words to my songs.”
A number of teachers have used it to mock their students’ behavior, as it’s back-to-school season.
“When its obvious the teacher spent time and money planning an activity for us but the popular kids keep laughing and calling it stupid,” one social media user captioned a video of them lipsyncing to the audio.
“POV: Teaching the group of kids who are ‘too cool’ to participate in fun activities,” another user captioned their own video.

“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.
