Chappell Roan isn’t the only one dropping $25,000 to support fellow artists. After former music exec Jeff Rabhan called out Roan in an op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter, Roan fought back and asked Rabhan to go band for band in donations to Backline’s “We Got You” campaign inspired by her Grammys speech advocating for better health care for musicians. While Rabhan did not donate to the cause, as he claimed her challenge was a “right idea pointed in the wrong direction,” Roan’s music friends and colleagues had her back. Sabrina Carpenter, LAUV, Noah Kahan, and Charli XCX each matched Roan’s initial donation of $25,000 as it grew into a larger movement supported by those in the music industry.
Here’s every player who stepped up to the plate to support financially.
