You may know one of the biggest names in music today as Chappell Roan, a name coined by combining her grandfather’s last name and a word taken from his favourite song, “The Strawberry Roan” by Curley Fletcher. Chappell has expressed a dislike for her government name, Kayleigh Rose.
We get it! Taylor Swift already had the Ashleigh-Kayleigh-McKenneigh market in the bag. Why bother when you can be way more fun and freaky?
Check out an early clip of Roan whens he was still releasing as Kayleigh. The talent and stage presence has clearly always been remarkable. Find it after the jump!
