Chappell Roan has chosen Drew Simmons of Foundations Music as her manager.
Simmons took to Instagram on Monday to announce the news, having penned in a statement, “Thrilled to be working with Chappell Roan — it’s an honor to welcome her to Foundations." He is most known for being the manager of Noah Kahan, Laufey, and Rebecca Black.
Fans have since begun responding to the news with varied reactions on X. One user, for instance, tweeted a question that aptly described the reactions online:
"is this good or bad"
The comments didn't end there:
"they must’ve given her a good deal," one user speculated.
"Her career is over. When you're signing to the same management as Rebecca Black you're close to being finished," another naysayer chimed in.
"She's definitely going the indie route, then. Big nostalgia-pop anthems are likely on the downswing, and indie sounds are crashing back into the pop word like a ton of bricks," someone else claimed.
"Oh Choppell…..it’s over already," yet another echoed.
Even more chimed in to speculate about the trajectory of Chappell Roan's career now that she has a new manager:
"Exciting! Chappell Roan joining such a talented lineup," one fan exclaimed.
"Big news for Chappell Roan! Signing with Foundations Music alongside talents like Noah Kahan and Laufey is a huge step. Can’t wait to see what’s next for her—congrats!" someone else chimed in.
"The MID-music-making-western princes is about to fall lmaooo im crine," another naysayer penned.
"Guys Drew is an EXCELLENT manager and the whole crew are so amazing. This is a good thing," yet another asserted.
Users were visibly divided upon learning of the news, with many noting that this might be a good thing for the songstress.
