Chappell Roan arrived ready for battle at the 2024 VMAs and didn’t hesitate to stand her ground when confronted by a mouthy paparazzo on the red carpet.

As Roan posed for photographs in a medieval warrior-inspired outfit, complete with velvet robe, an armored manicure, and a literal sword, a paparazzo inexplicably shouted, “Fuck you!” Based on the available clips, it’s not entirely clear what set off the photographer, or if his insult was even aimed at Roan, but the singer wasn’t having it. She shouted back, “You shout the fuck you! Don’t. Not me, bitch!”

Asked about the exchange in an interview with Entertainment Tonight , Roan explained, “The carpet is horrifying, and I yelled back! You don’t get to yell at me like that.”

Noah Kahan lauded Roan for the move on social media, writing: “I’ll never forget leaving Clive Davis and the horrific shit photographers and paparazzi or whatever were saying to me in front of my sweet mom who couldn’t believe it was actually happening. Love this @ChappellRoan way to stand up for yourself.”

In recent weeks, Roan has spoken out about the need for firmer boundaries between fans , calling out “predatory behavior” and “nonconsensual physical and social interactions.”
