Darin Chappell is a Republican member of the Missouri House of Representatives. He represents the state's 137th House District - which is the Springfield, MO area.
He's probably better known for being Chappell Roan's (maternal-side) uncle, though. She grew up in Missouri....
.... so when it came time to record a video for the seventh and final single from her debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, it completely made sense that she'd be bringing it home to Springfield, MO - which is where this video was recorded. Also, yes, those are really her grandparents. No word if her uncle ended up on the cutting room floor.
Also, this is a fun song. C'mon now. AND IT HAS A DANCE!!!!
You know, there are a lot of live performances I could have chosen here.
So why did I choose the one she did with Olivia Rodrigo in a guest starring appearance?
Because 1) Chappell Roan got her big break as Rodrigo's opening act - but this was well after that. 2) This looks like two old friends GENUINELY having fun together.
3) I wanted to save this impressive performance from Reading 2025 with literally 90,000 people doing the dance for last.
