Fans think Kamala and Tim ripped off Chappell Roan’s merch and her response is so iconic
‘How gay do you have to be to see hunting colours and think it’s a Chappell Roan thing?’
In the funniest and wildest crossover to come out of the news cycle yesterday, Chappell Roan fans think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz took inspiration from her Midwest Princess album merch. It’s a bizarre combo, but a hilarious one. Kamal Harris announced that for her presidential campaign she will be having Minnesota Governor Tim Walz by her side – and they announced some merch to mark the occasion. But as Chappell Roan continues her ascension and domination of the charts and hearts of pop girlies everywhere, the similarities between the two very different faction’s merch is notable. And everyone’s losing it.

After PopCrave announced the merch had dropped, it wasn’t long before an eagle eyed fan replied saying “Chappell mentioned” showing the side by side caps and how similar they actually are. Obviously, the Midwest Princess Chappell merch is a reference to her hugely popular album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
After someone else replied to the “Chappell mentioned” tweet saying “How gay do you have to be to see hunting colours and think it’s a Chappell Roan thing”, they then corrected themselves – admitting “It has recently come to my attention that this may indeed be a Chappell Roan thing.”

So how did Chappell Roan respond? She first retweeted the “How gay do you have to be” tweet, which is hilarious in its own right. But then she quoted the whole thing with a bemused “Is this real”. It very much is real, queen.

So, did Kamala Harris and Tim Walz take inspiration from Chappell Roan? It wouldn’t be the first time Kamala has leaned into popular pop stars for her campaign. The Kamala HQ literally changed their entire branding to Brat after Charli XCX tweeted “Kamala IS Brat”. So. Stranger things have happened!
Either way, it’s an iconic crossover of chaos, I can’t lie.
