Sabrina Carpenter has joined Chappell Roan’s campaign for $25,000 healthcare donations, along with other contributors
Chappell Roan, during her Grammy acceptance speech, urged record labels to ensure better healthcare for their artists.
Now, Sabrina Carpenter is showing her support for this cause.
On February 12, Carpenter, known for her hit “Espresso,” made a generous $25,000 contribution to Roan’s fundraising initiative, *We Got You*, which is part of the nonprofit Backline.
Backline focuses on providing mental health and wellness support to music industry professionals and their families. Roan launched the initiative with the goal of creating a more supportive environment for artists to thrive.
Carpenter’s donation comes shortly after Roan’s passionate speech at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she called on record labels, which profit greatly from artists, to provide both fair wages and healthcare.
“If I ever had the chance to stand in front of the most influential people in music, I would demand that labels offering millions to artists provide healthcare and fair pay, particularly to emerging artists,” Roan shared while accepting her Grammy for Best New Artist.
Chappell Roan, during her Grammy acceptance speech, shared the personal challenges she faced after being signed at a young age.
“I was signed as a minor, and when I was dropped, I had no job experience,” she explained. “Like many, I struggled to find work during the pandemic and couldn’t afford health insurance.”
Roan, open about her mental health struggles, expressed feeling betrayed by the system despite her dedication to music.
She emphasized that if labels prioritized artists’ health, she could have received care from the company she devoted herself to, urging labels to treat artists as valuable employees with fair pay, healthcare, and protection.
She ended her speech with a challenge: “Labels, we got you, but do you got us?” In response, music executive Jeff Rabhan criticized her speech in *The Hollywood Reporter*.
Roan called on him to donate $25,000 to support artists dropped by labels.
Several artists, including Noah Kahan, Charli XCX, and Lauv, supported Roan’s cause by donating $25,000 each, with Charli praising the sincerity of Roan’s speech and Lauv expressing gratitude for her advocacy.
