Chappell Roan Calls Out Fans' Exes at Primavera Sound (Including One Who ‘Hooked Up' With Their Ex's Mom)
At her headlining Primavera Sound set Saturday (June 7), the pop star took a break during a performance of her Billboard Hot 100 top 5 single 'The Giver' to draw slips of paper submitted by audience members out of a hat. 'Now, I asked some of you to give me the names of your exes, and why they didn't get the job done,' she explained into the microphone, as captured in a video shared on X.

The entries progressively got worse, with Roan leading the crowd in a loud round of booing after she read each one aloud. 'He only knew how to use his fingers to play video games,' she began. 'Boo!'
'Didn't wash his balls,' the visibly disgusted Grammy winner read from the second slip. 'Boo!'
When she glanced at the third entry, Roan remarked that she'd 'saved the worst for last.' 'Hooked up with my mom,' the paper read, causing the audience to audibly groan.
But the best/worst part came when the 'Pink Pony Club' singer revealed that the anonymous fan's mom and ex in question were both in attendance. 'They are all in the crowd tonight,' Roan read. 'Boo!'
After the exes were thoroughly shamed, the Missouri native moved back to center stage and continued with the rest of the performance. 'Well you should've asked me, baby — you know why?' Roan said before belting out the signature line in 'The Giver': ''Cause I get the job done!'
Roan was one of three festival headliners over the weekend, with Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx also taking the main stage at different points. During the British pop star's set, big screens captured Roan in the audience doing the viral 'Apple' dance.
This year's Primavera Sound comes a couple months after Roan dropped 'The Giver' in March, marking her first piece of new music since 'Good Luck, Babe!' dropped in 2024. The former debuted at No. 5 on the Hot 100, while the latter peaked at No. 4.
Fans are hopeful that Roan will release a new album soon. Originally released in 2023, her debut LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess steadily climbed the charts — peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 last August — following a whirlwind year of growth for the star in 2024.

At the time, she said in a statement, 'I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars.' She added, 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.'
