She's talented, but DAMN talk about quick and over exposure. I feel like she's going to be lightning in a bottle unfortunately. I don't mean that as a slight toward her, I just mean culture can be super cruel to someone who rises this quickly. I hope it's not the case.
I think Olivia’s rise with DL was very quick like this too. Maybe less grand but still pretty crazy fast. I’ve noticed with both of them and actually with Sabrina’s rise as well, that every comment is about them being industry plants and there are so many old men complaining about them. I’m convinced that older people can’t accept new gen music so they have to label any success as a plant.
I see people going wild with industry plant comments on artists in every genre these days, it's getting a bit wild. I even saw people accusing a rising metal act of being an industry plant and I was like 'Ah yes the most popular genre of all time, black metal. Great business move' and the poor dude doesn't even have a record label to back him up :') He releases everything independently.
I think people are forgetting that these days if you promote yourself well with a fun image you only need a little spark to light a whole fire with the way that locating things within your zone of interest is so easy with social media. If you go even a little viral you have a big chance to try and break into the scene in a broader way.
Metalheads who claim bands/artists being industry plants crack me up. Like just admit you don’t like artists over 4 monthly listeners on Spotify and move on!
It’s wild because I don’t think any of these 3 are industry plants. 2 of them were Disney kids and Chappell was literally dropped from her label at the start of the pandemic.

Olivia was on a Disney show before, though, right? And Sabrina Carpenter had been on the indie scene for a while. Chappell seemed to have this meteoric rise from nowhere.

yeah I've known Sabrina Carpenter since "Girl Meet World." I'm sure many of her fans in the beginning of her career followed her from the tv show. I didnt really follw her music in the beginning- i think i only knew- "thumbs." Now she is massive and people are recreating her makeup looks on socials.
I think it'll be more like Carly Rae Jepsen, where she's lightning in a bottle for the mainstream but there's a very vocal, very obsessed fanbase who will continue loving her music.
I could see this being the trajectory. I love CRJ and have been following Chappell since early 2023 and there was a lot of overlap in fans back then. Sometimes I think artists seem happier and are able to do more interesting things with their music when they aren’t everywhere like she and Sabrina Carpenter are right now though.
I think she’d be much more happy Carly Rae’s level of success in the long run, tbh. Her breaking down at that show due to being overwhelmed a few days ago was so sweet and sad. I probably wouldn’t handle super quick stardom and exposure quickly either.
Plenty of artists in the 90s rose quickly and fast. Britney for example! Chappell has been going at this for ten years so for us it seems out of nowhere but it’s really not.
