Pop sensation Chappell Roan kicked off her latest run of concerts with a sort of wardrobe faux pas that instantly went viral. The “Subway” singer nearly forgot she was performing in a thong, making fans react over her genuine reaction and iconic fashion sense.
Chappell Roan realizing she’s wearing a thong has fans talking
Recently, Chappell Roan opened her series of shows at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium, dazzling the crowd with her beautiful outfit: a red and black corset halter paired with coordinating thong bottoms. The look featured embroidery, lace-up detailing, and dangling gold accents, all designed to highlight her theatrical stage moment.
Mid-performance, however, Roan caught herself on the big screen and panicked, exclaiming, “Oh my God, I forgot my bottom was just a thong.” The artist placed her hand on her backside as she laughed through the realization, later admitting, “I look up at the screen and see my ass. I was like, ‘It’s gone.’”
Fans wasted no time in flooding Instagram and TikTok with their reactions. A user wrote, “Shook by her own [cake].” One joked, “Body so TEA she shocked herself,” while another wrote, “Went on stage with no pants on on purpose, lol we all have nightmares of forgetting our pants.” Others compared her humor and confidence to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, calling the moment “one of the funniest of the night.”
The thong incident wasn’t the only highlight. Roan delivered a powerhouse setlist featuring fan-favorite tracks like “Casual,” “Hot to Go”, and “The Subway.” The biggest surprise came when she welcomed Heart guitarist Nancy Wilson on stage for a live rendition of Barracuda, a cover Roan often includes in her shows. The crowd erupted as the rock legend joined her for the iconic anthem. In between songs, Roan grew emotional while addressing her fans. She thanked the audience for sticking by her during a difficult year.
