Chappell Roan on “The Giver” & her music via Apple Music interview 🧡 “I’m not trying to change your mind about anything. But if you like a song by a lesbian artist about a lesbian topic, that doesn’t make you a lesbian, that just makes you like fun music... You can exist in the world that you love and admire another world.”
