Winning a Grammy isn't at the top of Chappell Roan's priority list right now.

In a Monday, Sept. 16 interview with The Face, the singer-songwriter revealed her thoughts on the upcoming Grammys Awards.

"I'm kind of hoping I don't win," Roan, 26, told the outlet. "Because then everyone will get off my a--. ​'See guys, we did it and we didn't win, bye!' I won't have to do this again!"

Although, she added that "my mom would love to go to the Grammys or the BRITs."

Earlier this month, the "Red Wine Supernova" singer won her first Moon Person for best new artist at the MTV VMAs and read her acceptance speech directly from her diary.

"I dedicate this to queer and trans people that fuel pop. To the gays who dedicate my songs to someone they love — or hate," she said after thanking MTV, her team, family and friends and the "drag queens who inspire" her.

She continued, "And thank you to the people who are fans, who listen to me, who hear me when I share my joy and my fears. Thank you. For all the queer kids in the Midwest watching right now: I see you. I understand you because I'm one of you, and don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't be exactly who you want to be."

Roan released her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess in September 2023 and has since skyrocketed to fame. Part of what's drawn fans to Roan is her energetic and campy live shows, which come with dress codes and themes.

“I think people like to party and I think my project feels like a party,” she previously told PEOPLE. “I think that people just want to be happy and reflect, sing, dance and dress up, and feel free. The project gives people an opportunity to express themselves without judgment and freedom to discover themselves in the same way that I feel like the project allows me to discover myself.”

Since her rise, Roan has also been open about her struggle with fame. On Aug. 23, the singer posted a message on Instagram, asking fans to respect her boundaries regarding “nonconsensual physical and social interactions.”

“For the past 10 years l've been going nonstop to build my project and it's come to the point that I need to draw lines and set boundaries. I want to be an artist for a very very long time,” she wrote. 

“I just need to lay it out and remind you, women don't owe you s---," she continued. "I chose this career path because I love music and art and honoring my inner child, I do not accept harassment of any kind because I chose this path, nor do I deserve it.”
