Though Roan calls it a DS as shorthand, it’s most likely that the fan was using either a DSi or 3DS, as the camera wasn’t a mainstay of Nintendo’s handhelds until the DSi in 2008. And if you’re using one of those in 2024, that is next-level commitment to the bit and I applaud you for it. That’s Pink Pony Girl, shit.

Pop sensation Chappell Roan recently caught a fan taking photos of her live performance during a concert. But instead of reacting with irritation, the singer-songwriter seemed delighted once she realized the concert attendee in question was taking said photos via a rather unconventional camera: the one embedded in their Nintendo DS.

Although the fan has yet to be identified it is safe to assume that moment was considered to be lighthearted. Plus after paparazzi captured a hostile exchange with Chappell Roan and a 2024 VMAs red carpet photographer, you see that his incident was far less tension-filled.

Thank you thank you thank you for everything. Thank you for showing up for this project and believing in me. The post also includes a photo of Roan holding a vinyl copy of the album in front of a wall covered in posters about the album.

Sharing a photo of herself holding up a Midwest Princess vinyl in front of a wall of promotional posters for the project, Roan wrote that her life “has been changed forever” in the 12 months since she dropped the 14-track LP.
