​“My mom would love to go to the Grammys or the Brits,” Chappell said. ​“I’m kind of hoping I don’t win, because then everyone will get off my ass: ​‘See guys, we did it and we didn’t win, bye’! I won’t have to do this again!”

Chappell is considered the frontrunner in the Best New Artist category and is also expected to get nominations in the three main categories – Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year.

In the interview, Chappell made it known that she’s working hard to make sure she can stay in the music industry for the long haul.

​“I feel ambitious about making this sustainable,” she said. ​“That’s my biggest goal right now. My brain is like: quit right now, take next year off.”

“This industry and artistry f–king thrive on mental illness, burnout, overworking yourself, overextending yourself, not sleeping. You get bigger the more unhealthy you are. Isn’t that so f–ked up?” she said. “The ambition is: how do I not hate myself, my job, my life, and do this? Because right now, it’s not working. I’m just scrambling to try to feel healthy.”

Chappell brought up a recent experience where autograph seekers waited for her at the airport and then berated her when she turned down their requests.

“I told myself, if this ever gets dangerous, I might quit. It’s dangerous now, and I’m still going. But that part is not what I signed up for,” she said. ​“I feel like fame is just abusive. The vibe of this – stalking, talking shit online, [people who] won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public – is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband. That’s what it feels like. I didn’t know it would feel this bad.”
