Sabrina Carpenter Joins Chappell Roan’s Call for $25,000 Healthcare Donations — See Who Else Has Contributed

Sabrina Carpenter is joining Chappell Roan‘s call for better healthcare for musicians.

On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the “Espresso” singer made a $25,000 donation to the fundraising campaign Roan, 26, is working with through Backline called We Got You.

According to the donation website, Backline is a “nonprofit that provides mental health and wellness resources to music industry professionals and their families.” Roan established the initiative to “create a safer and more supported industry for artists to thrive.”

Carpenter’s donation comes after Roan’s passionate speech at the 2025 Grammys about record labels providing their artists with health insurance.

“I told myself, if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and healthcare, especially to developing artists,” Roan said on Sunday, Feb. 2, accepting her Grammy for best new artist.

“Because I got signed so young, I got signed as a minor, and when I got dropped, I had zero job experience under my belt,” she continued, “and like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in a pandemic and could not afford health insurance.”

Throughout her career, the “Pink Pony Club” singer has been open about her mental health. She added that it was “devastating to feel so committed to my art” yet “betrayed by the system.”

“If my label would have prioritized artists’ health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to,” Roan said. “So record labels need to treat their artists as valuable employees with a livable wage and health insurance and protection.”

“Labels, we got you, but do you got us?” she finished her speech. Days later, music executive Jeff Rabhan wrote a controversial op-ed for The Hollywood Reporter criticizing her Grammys speech. Roan challenged him to donate $25,000 to artists dropped by their labels.

 “I love how in the article you said ‘put your money where your mouth is,’ ” Roan wrote. “Genius !!! Let’s link and build together and see if you can do the same.”

Since, other artists have rallied around Roan’s initiative. Noah Kahan donated $25,000, writing, “to get the ball rolling,” with his contribution.

Charli xcx made a $25,000 contribution as well. “hey @chappellroan i am going to match your 25k to support artists’ access to healthcare. i saw @noahkahanmusic say that he would do the same and so i thought i’d follow suit,” Charli, 32, wrote on her Instagram Stories.

“your speech at the grammys was inspiring and thoughtful and from a genuine place of care. happy to help get the ball rolling too. money where mouth is xx.”

Lauv also donated $25,000 to the initiative, sharing a screenshot of the contribution on his Instagram Stories. “thank u for calling this out @chappellroan this is a beautiful cause,” he said.
