Some Filipinos really don’t know when to stop, do they?

American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan is causing a stir among Filipino fans after posting a photo of herself barefoot on the streets of New York City.

She posted a series of photos of herself on the street with the caption “No shoes, no shirt, no problem!!!”

Filipino social media users and some fans of the singer pointed out in the comments section that the location resembled an area in Manila.

One user wrote: “Chappell Roan in Divisoria is buying new clothes for her next performance.”

Another user wrote: “Chappell Roan in Batang Quiapo?”

“Chappell RAON,” wrote a third user, referring to an electronics store in Manila.

A fourth user wrote: “Up to my knees in your rickshaw seat.”

One user took the opportunity to congratulate the singer on her discovery by the Filipino community, writing: “Congratulations on your outpouring of comments from the Filipino community, you really did it.”

Chappell Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, rose to fame when she uploaded cover songs to YouTube as a teenager. At 16, she wrote an original song called “Die Young,” which got her discovered and landed her a deal with Atlantic Records. In 2017, she released her first EP, “School Nights,” on the label.

Her stage name is a tribute to her late grandfather Dennis Chappell, whose favorite song was “The Strawberry Roan” by Marty Robbins.

After being fired from her label, the singer-songwriter continued her music career as an independent artist.

Following her major appearances on late-night TV and at the Coachella Festival, she signed a deal with Nigro’s Amusement Records, an imprint of Island Records, in May 2023. She told Grammy that she made the decision to end her journey as an independent artist and sign with a label because the production of her debut album “became too big to be independent anymore.”

Roan became known for her songs such as “HOT TO GO!”, “Red Wine Supernova” and “Good Luck, Babe!”, to name a few.
