'Good Luck, Babe!' is about to take on a whole new meaning, because Chappell Roan just announced she's hitting the road for a slew 0f pop-up shows this fall. The catch? She's only performing in three cities, which means devoted members of her Pink Pony Club are about to embark on quite the journey to snag tickets. Chappell is set to take the stage in New York, Kansas City, and Los Angeles in September and October. The Midwest Princess is also taking measures to ensure her tickets are easily accessible to fans. 'Since I started performing, I have always wanted my shows to be a party that everyone is invited to, and the only way to do that is to keep ticket prices affordable and away from scalpers. The Fair AXS ticketing process for these shows is one measure we are taking to ensure tickets end up in the hands of fans who actually want to be there,' she wrote, in part, before revealing that $1 per ticket will be donated to organizations that provide resources and support for trans youth.

Chappell Roan Mentions Canadian Province In New Song
Although I'm literally a professional internet writer, I have to say, I'm constantly shocked by the pop culture news I stumble upon. You truly can never predict what a celebrity is gonna drop, or what the internet is gonna pick up and run with. And this news I have to share with you juuuust might be the most random, unexplainable, shocking thing I've ever seen on the internet. Because it has to do with two things I never thought would mesh: Chappell Roan and random Canadian provinces. Let me explain. Chappell, our latest Best New Artist winner at the Grammys, has been a bit quieter ever since she dropped her single "The Giver" in March. But she's officially BACK with a brand-new song called "The Subway," teased through a 'lil video posted earlier this week. Now, I thought the video would be a regular promotional video, yanno, just to get people excited about "The Subway." But it far exceeded my expectations, because I was so shocked to see that the teaser was ALL. ABOUT. CANADA. Well, not just Canada: Saskatchewan. (For those of you who have no idea what that is, I'll explain in a bit.) The teaser opens up on a zoomed-in licence plate that reads "THE SBWY," with "Saskatchewan" and "Land of Living Skies" also written on it (the latter is the province's tagline). Then, we see the vehicle is a truck, and Chappell is driving down an empty road. (Yep, that checks out for Saskatchewan. Girl did her research.) The last frame in the teaser displays the Saskatchewan welcome sign, with the same tagline. And if you think that's wild, hold your horses, because I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD YOU THE LYRICS YET. While we're seeing all of this Saskatchewan promo, we can hear a snippet of "The Subway," in which Chappell sings: "I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain't gone / Well, fuck this city, I'm moving to Saskatchewan." Now, I know this might sound like just a silly little name-drop to the average non-Canadian. But there are so many layers as to why this is totally wild. First, Saskatchewan is one of ten provinces in Canada, but it's one of the least densely populated. If it's known for anything, it's of just there. That and agriculture, which plays into the province's reputation of being pretty empty. If I just offended any Saskatchewanians, I'm so sorry! I do have a friend from Sask and he's great, so don't think I hate you! I love you! And besides, Canada rarely gets mentions in any pop songs (and if it does, it's normally just Toronto). So the fact that Chappell would choose such an unexpected, niche location to shoutout is just really freakin' with the fact that the name-drop is confusing Americans left and right. So for the most part, Canadian fans are purely in shock: Other people have called out the irony of Chappell saying she's gonna move to Saskatchewan, though, because it's one of the most right-wing provinces in Canada. That doesn't align super well with Chappell's views, particularly surrounding LGBTQ+ rights. But honestly, I'm just thrilled Canada is getting its flowers, especially the provinces people don't think to talk about much. I guess our next step is to wonder whether Saskatchewan tourism is gonna explode because of this. (If people aren't on board yet, just wait 'till they find out what the capital city of Sask is called. Just saying.) What are your thoughts on Chappell Roan shouting out Saskatchewan in her new song?

Call to strip arts institutions of funding over antisemitism raises alarm bells
'These are artists who are getting cancelled mostly by small venues who say 'we can't afford to get cancelled by the pro-Palestinian mob on social media'… [venue owners] who are deeply apologetic, but this is a real problem.' At the same time, several high-profile pro-Palestinian voices have been penalised: Jayson Gillham at the MSO, Antoinette Lattouf at the ABC, and Khaled Sabsabi, who was invited, uninvited and then re-invited to represent Australia at next year's Venice Biennale. Commissioned by the Albanese Government, Segal's 16-page report says antisemitism has become 'ingrained and normalised within academia and the cultural space' but does not include examples. This is problematic, says Louise Chappell, Scientia Professor, Australian Human Rights Institute, Faculty of Law and Justice at the University of New South Wales, who argues reports of this nature usually provide evidence to support such claims. She says Segal cites a 700 per cent increase in antisemitic hatred without documenting a source, or a baseline from which that figure was extrapolated. It appears to have come from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry and to reference complaints to Jewish-based organisations, Chappell says, not official complaints to the police or Australian Human Rights Commission. Segal's office confirmed the figures quoted are from the Executive Council of Australian Jewry report into antisemitism 2024 by Julie Nathan, which categorises, itemises and lists each incident in reverse chronological order to show the increase. Chappell says it's important to know who collated the data and detail about the incidents. 'Is it that you saw a pro-Palestinian encampment at Syd Uni and you walked past and felt uncomfortable, or someone made a direct anti-Jewish slur, or set fire to a Jewish Synagogue and demonstrated direct hatred towards a Jewish person or the community,' she says. 'They are very different things.' Leibler disagrees with criticisms of the report, saying Segal has undertaken a very thorough body of work and most that of the recommendations clearly resonate with the experiences that the Jewish community has had since October 7, 2023, and before. There's no one silver bullet to addressing antisemitism, he says, and education is a large part of the solution. 'It needs to be addressed at multiple levels – it can't just be fixed by government, it can't just be fixed by academia, it can't just be dealt with by the arts. We need to get all parts of civil society aligned on wanting to stamp this out.' The report argues that public funding for cultural institutions – arts festivals, galleries and organisations and artists – 'is not to be used to support or implicitly endorse antisemitic themes or narratives' and says funding should be terminated in such instances. But several sources take issue with Segal's suggested definition of antisemitism, which comes from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). Loading Greg Barns SC, spokesman for the Australian Lawyers Alliance, says '[the report's] words invite conflation of the criticism of Israel with antisemitism. It has rightly been condemned by numerous human rights groups … it will have the effect of censorship.' Chappell agrees that although it's not spelt out directly in the report, there is a conflation between being antisemitic and being anti-Israel. 'It's very clear through the use of the IHRA definition whose examples include criticism of Israel or anti-Zionism as antisemitic speech,' she says. 'It's not only a huge problem for universities, but freedom of speech expressed through the arts is also at risk – we've seen with the Creative Australia debacle just how damaging it can be.' Leibler rejects these claims. 'I have been genuinely shocked by the response from certain quarters who have misrepresented what the recommendations involve, particularly this suggestion that the IHRA definition of antisemitism is somehow a highly controversial definition. It's nationally recognised as a definition … by leading experts,' he says. While the government doesn't have a codified definition of anti-semitism, in 2021 the IHRA definition was endorsed by the then-Morrison Coalition government and Labor, under then-opposition leader Anthony Albanese. Barns cautions the government against adopting the report. 'The Segal review recommendations concerning tying funding for arts and cultural organisations to efforts to prevent antisemitism is dangerous and will lead to self censoring,' he says. 'Many cultural and arts organisations rely heavily on government funding so the temptation to refuse to allow works because they are highly critical of Zionism and Israel will be ever present.' According to Barns, current legislation provides protection and there is no need for any further law reform in the hate speech area. 'Ms Segal seems unaware of major hate speech criminal offences reform passed by the Federal Parliament in February. These laws expand when hate speech is said to occur,' he says. 'There is a balance between ensuring that hate speech does not occur and allowing for strident language and representations in the context of protest against human rights abuses.' Chappell says the current climate is already fraught and that several high-profile examples illustrate that. 'It is becoming very toxic in the arts just as it is within universities, the same thing is happening in both. There's a silencing, and it's having a chilling effect on all sides, all people are feeling they can't express themselves. It's very hard to find a place where you can have difficult, straightforward discussion about these issues,' she says. Loading 'It's dividing faculties, and it's dividing arts funders, it's dividing boards as demonstrated by people resigning. High-profile cases such as the Jayson Gillham/MSO case and the ABC with Antoinette Lattouf. It is touching on every key part of our cultural life and wherever freedom of speech and expression is meant to flourish.' Chappell also asks why the report was not released at the same time as its equivalent into Islamophobia, which is due out next month. Context is important, she says, arguing it would have been far better to release both simultaneously, to assure the relevant communities that the government is equally concerned for their well-being. Alex Ryvchin, co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, commends Segal's work. 'Jillian has done a phenomenal job. She took her her time and consulted widely both in Australia and abroad with stakeholders within the community and far beyond,' he says. Recent antisemitism didn't come from nowhere, he says, so placing education at the heart of the plan is critical. He argues antisemitism has become normalised and even glamorised in some sectors, including in social media and in the arts. 'Our arts and our cultural festivals, they don't merely reflect Australian culture, they help shape it. I don't think that's a question. They play a vital role in our society in presenting the best of Australia, asking hard questions and showcasing our talents. But ultimately when you have viewpoints that are extreme in any direction, on any particular issue, and they're run through the arts, there's a problem with that and particularly with the treatment of Israel and to some extent with antisemitism, I think that has been an issue. 'There's a clear distinction to be drawn between government policies and politicians in the conduct of the war, no one seeks to stifle that,' Ryvchin says. 'But when that calls for the destruction of Israel and a demonisation of its people that presents something quite different.' 'I think it reveals a different motivation,' he says. Sarah Schwartz, executive officer at the Jewish Council of Australia, doesn't believe the report would stand up to any form of academic scrutiny. 'It's very unclear what research has been relied on. There's a headline that says 'Drivers of antisemitism' but there's no real engagement with the drivers of antisemitism except for these vague references to extremist ideologies and antisemitic narratives and the sort of language that verges on conspiratorial,' she says.
