In August 2023, Chappell Roan released a music video for her 1980s electro-pop throwback “HOT TO GO!” Set in Springfield, Missouri — she grew up in nearby Willard — the clip centers around a choreographed dance in which she spells out the song title with her arms.
Clad in outfits such as a sparkly blue leotard and matching eyeshadow, Roan does the moves with drag queens and bored teens, and even (adorably) teaches her grandparents the dance. But in many scenes, she earnestly acts out “HOT TO GO!” by herself — at a gas station, at a mini-golf course, in front of a giant fork — as if she’s singlehandedly trying to manifest success.
