After spending a year tagging herself on thousands of photos on Instagram, international drag chanteuse Varla Jean Merman recently discovered that she had confused herself with Grammy Award-winning pop sensation Chappell Roan. With the feminomenon’s gigantic red hair, over-the-top outfits and saucy songs, Varla realized that Roan has been ripping her off this whole time! As well as all the other current pop princesses! Despite her overall lethargy and low blood sugar, Varla sets out to reheat the recent hits of Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus. Can Varla take her place on the top of the pop charts alongside her “colleagues?” Good Luck, Babe!
