"Accepting the award, Roan said she felt "very uncomfortable being told that [she's] a good person", which she put down to "Christian guilt". Roan then told the teleprompter operator she'd cut her speech down to a quarter of its original length, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Addressing the crowd, which included the likes of Chaka Khan, Joni Mitchell, Olivia Rodrigo, Doechii, and Addison Rae, Roan urged people to give back."
""I kind of think it's just an artist, and anybody that has money, it's your duty to give it away. I don't really know what else there is to harmony other than giving." Referencing the many ills facing people around the world at the moment, she added: "I don't really know what's going to happen to women, gay people or people of colour or really anyone, but I think that the only thing that matters is community and kindness and giving what you can.""
Chappell Roan received the Harmonizer Award at the 2026 Resonator Awards for using her platform for social good. She advocated for emerging artists and the LGBTQ+ community and founded The Midwest Princess Project last October to fundraise for transgender youth and the wider LGBTQ+ community, raising more than $400,000. Accepting the award Roan said she felt very uncomfortable being told she was a good person, attributing the feeling to Christian guilt and shortening her prepared speech. Roan urged artists and those with money to give back and emphasized community, kindness, and support for vulnerable groups.
