“We Got You, But Do You Got Us?” – Artists and Public Figures Donate Towards Better Healthcare for Artists
Her words hit hard. The music industry is built on the talent and creativity of artists, yet many struggle to afford basic healthcare. Touring, recording, and performing are physically and mentally exhausting, but without proper medical support, artists are often left to fend for themselves. Roan’s speech ignited a conversation that quickly turned into action.
Big Names Step Up
In the days following the Grammys, fellow artists and public figures started speaking up and, more importantly, putting their money where their mouths are. Even record labels, often criticized for profiting off artists without prioritizing their well-being, started pledging support (though some fans are skeptical about whether this is real change or just PR damage control).
As of present, Charli XCX, Noah Kahan, and Sabrina Carpenter have all matched Chappell Roan’s $25K donation, further fueling the movement and inspiring others to contribute.
The Role of Social Media
Social media took things to the next level. The hashtag #ArtistsDeserveCare started trending, with fans and fellow musicians sharing stories of struggling with medical bills while trying to make a living in the industry. Independent artists, in particular, voiced how hard it is to access affordable care without the backing of a major label.
The “We Got You Fund”
Then came the biggest power move yet: A coalition of artists, managers, and industry professionals launched the “We Got You Fund,” an initiative dedicated to providing healthcare assistance for musicians and creatives in need. The fund has already received millions in donations, with artists committing a portion of their ticket sales and streaming revenue to help their peers.
A Wake-Up Call for the Industry
This movement is a wake-up call for the industry. Fans support their favorite artists through streaming, merch, and concert tickets—but who supports the artists when they need medical care?
What’s Next?
Chappell Roan’s speech wasn’t just a moment. It was a spark. And now, it’s a movement. The question remains: Will the industry truly change, or will it take even more voices to make it happen?
One thing’s for sure—Gen Z is watching, and we won’t let this conversation die down.
