Cyndi Lauper Set to Become First LGBTQ+ Artist to Be Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Cyndi's Biggest Fan, Chappell Roan
In a heartfelt announcement on Instagram, rising star Chappell Roan is set to induct the one and only Cyndi Lauper into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at the 40th annual ceremony. The news sent waves of excitement through the music world as fans and fellow artists alike celebrated this well-deserved honor.
For Roan, the induction is more than just a milestone – it's a testament to her own admiration for Lauper's trailblazing career and enduring impact on the LGBTQ+ community. "She has inspired me with her fashion and her hair, and of course, her makeup, her music," Roan said in an Instagram video announcing the news. The singer shared that she auditioned with 'True Colors' for America's Got Talent when she was just 13, and although she didn't make it, the song remains a highlight of her own career.
Lauper, on the other hand, has been a long-time supporter of Roan's rising star. In her documentary Let the Canary Sing, Lauper praised Roan's unique sound, saying "Such dusky, yearning keyboard pop." The singer also gushed over Roan's hair, drawing parallels to her own iconic style from her blues record Memphis Blues.
As the news of Roan and Lauper's induction spread, so did a star-studded lineup of guests. Olivia Rodrigo, Doja Cat, Elton John, Beck, David Letterman, Flea, Iggy Pop, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Maxwell, Questlove, Raye, Sleepy Brown, Teddy Swims, Twenty One Pilots, and Taylor Momsen will all make an appearance at the event.
The 40th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is set to take place on November 8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Fans can tune in live on Disney+ or catch it the next day on Hulu.
This year's induction ceremony is not only a celebration of Lauper's groundbreaking career but also a testament to her enduring influence on the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. With Chappell Roan by her side, Cyndi Lauper is set to become an icon in her own right – and the music world can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented artist.

I'm literally jumping out of my seat rn!!! This is SOOOO exciting!!! 
Chappell Roan is going to induct Cyndi Lauper into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and it's about time! 
I mean, we all know Cyndi's impact on the LGBTQ+ community and her iconic music is still giving us LIFE 
. And can we talk about how cute Chappell Roan is? 
She's so talented and I love that she's got Cyndi's back. The guest list for this event is EVERYTHING 
I need to tune in ASAP! November 8th, Peacock Theater in LA... save the date, fam 
it's like a dream come true and chappell roan is just the sweetest!!! 
they're like two peas in a pod, both being true to themselves and inspiring so many people through their music. i love how chappell has been talking about cyndi as her biggest influence and how she auditioned for americas got talent back in the day 
it's amazing to see the full circle moment where roan gets to celebrate lauper's legacy. and let's be real, who wouldn't want to attend a ceremony with so many talented artists like olivia rodrigo, doja cat, elton john... the list goes on! 
i'm already imagining how epic this induction ceremony is gonna be, with that incredible lineup of guests 
rock & roll hall of fame should be about letting go and being weird, not some fancy ceremony with a bunch of celebs in attendance 
also gotta say olivia rodrigo and doja cat are gonna bring the heat with their performances, it's gonna be a star-studded night for sure! 
I mean what even is it about these two women that we're celebrating but seriously they're like the ultimate power couple of music - Lauper's been a beacon of hope and acceptance for LGBTQ+ people since forever (I'm talking '80s new wave, honey) and now she's being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by her biggest fan Chappell Roan. It's like the universe is finally catching up with how talented and influential Lauper has been 
And let's not forget Roan's own journey to stardom - auditioning for America's Got Talent at 13 and getting belittled (just kidding, she's a superstar now lol) but seriously this induction is all about female empowerment and the impact one person can have on another. It's like Lauper's music has been fueling Roan's fire and vice versa. Can't wait for November 8 to roll around and see these two legends shine in concert
