Chappell Roan was the Apple Dance girl at Charli XCX's Primavera Sound set last night in Barcelona

Glad to help.

Chappell Roan is a singer. She attended Charli XCX's concert as part of Primavera Sound, a major European music festival that takes place in Barcelona. The Apple Dance is a dance from Tik Tok that is commonly done to Charli XCX's song, Apple. It has become a thing where a fan in the front does this dance when she plays the song, and is often put on the video screen. Chappell Roan served in this role on this evening.

so what you are saying is mean girl Chappell stomped on some influencer dreams of brief stardom?

also, i continue to not dislike Chappel's album… although not enough bangers

No, the influencer does not come and do it every show, some random person just acts it out. This time it wasn't a rando.

Concur.

This my LOL

Remember when the Ramones released a Deluxe Edition of It's Alive that had 4 complete shows with only one song changing from night to night? Well, Status Quo (the Blueshammer of England) have just released an 8CD version of Live! containing 3 complete concerts with THE EXACT SAME SET LIST.

I was listening to a playlist of Sly and the Family Stone tracks which included a 60s doo-wop track. 

It was from his time with a group called the The Viscaynes who released a series of singles in the early 60s.

As the instructions for the Groove Thing emphasize over and over, this isn’t a device designed to get you off or even necessarily give you an orgasm.

Wow, if I wanted to blow $300 on something that won't even get me off at the end of the night, I can think of better ways.

Olivia Rodrigo review: US star delights fans at Marlay Park in Dublin with Fontaines DC cover

But at Marlay Park in Dublin on Tuesday night, she shows us just how dedicated she still is to making each show special. “I've been practicing this in my bedroom,” she tells the crowd, before diving into a cover of Fontaines DC’s I Love You from 2022 album Skinty Fia. For casual fans of the Dublin rockers, it’s a bit of a deep cut, and it doesn’t land at all with a crowd who mostly veer teen and under. But, those of us of a slightly older vintage appreciate the effort. And there’s something endearing about hearing the Californian singer sing about ‘the gall of Fine Gael and the fail of Fianna Fáil’. (An experience made that bit stranger by spotting Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe enjoying the gig mere steps away from us).
