I thought I could n’t love Sandra Oh any more , but here I am ? ? ?
Sandra Ohis a lot of things: an actor, an officer of the Order of Canada, and now as of Sept. 9…an Emmy winner(finally!).
But something else we just learned? Sandra Oh is a massiveChappell Roanstan.
Based on how much her album,The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, has blown up, it’s clear EVERYONE loves Chappell. Now we can officially add Sandra to the list of Chappell’scelebrity fans— which also includesLady GagaandElton John. No big deal.
Basically, when we met Sandra Oh at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) last weekend, we had to ask her whathersong of the summer was — because it’s thebiggest debate on the internetright now. And so we could secretly judge her taste.
Well, let’s just say she passed the test with flying colours. Because here’s what she said: “Ah, you know Chappell Roan? Basically the entire album.”
We audibly gasped. Of course. But then Sandra continued to impress us: “I’m sorry. It was just, like, on repeat.” US TOO GIRL, US TOO.
Then she told us which song specifically on that album,The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, is her fave. “For me, it’s kinda ‘Pink Pony Club.'” And we replied with, “Yeah, that’s the one.” Because WOW, WHAT A CHOICE.
“For me, it is,” she said. “Because, I don’t know — even like, being here at TIFF all these years later, I stillfeelthe beginning of that song.”
“I still feel what it feels like to be your age — to go, ‘Everything is starting, and I’m just gonna take this, this, I’m gonna do my shit, and have a good time.'”
In case you need a refresher on “Pink Pony Club,” don’t worry — I’ll break it down for you. The song starts as a piano ballad and works its way into pop synth. At the beginning, Chappell sings about wanting to leave her small hometown life to explore the “special place” of L.A.
Sandra Oh is from a small town in Ontario called Nepean, so it definitely makes sense that she relates to this song. Although Canada is always verrrry happy to have her back, I’m sure little Sandra Oh spent her days just like Chappell did: sitting at home, wishing to venture into Hollywood to become a star. I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Of course, finding out that one of your fave actors listens to your fave artist is nothing short of incredible. So people on the internet have been loving this interaction:
