Chappell Roan responded to a photographer who said "shut the f*** up" on the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) black carpet on Wednesday night (11 September).
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer, 26, had been posing for photographs with a prop medieval sword before her performance when she heard the remark and snapped back.
Roan won Best New Artist at the ceremony in New York, dedicating the award to the drag artists who inspire her as well as "queer and trans people that fuel pop."
"For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now, I see you, I understand you, because I’m one of you," she added.
