Rising pop star with big hits looks unrecognizable in hilarious yearbook photo — but can you guess who it is?

This pop star looked unrecognizable in high school, until she adopted a musical persona and blossomed into the avant-garde artist she is today.

Nearly ten years after she was in primary school, she has clearly completely changed her style.

Nowadays she often dresses flashy and provocative, as this better suits her confident and fun personality and her daring and unapologetic attitude.

During her stage and public appearances, she is also often seen wearing a more eclectic and dramatic makeup look.

Do you know who she is?

This pop star looked unrecognizable in her high school years before she adopted her musical persona and became the avant-garde artist she is widely known as today

The unrecognizable high school student who grew up and shone is Chappell Roan!

The singer-songwriter, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, shared a TikTok video two years ago, but the clip in which she shows off her yearbook photo is now circulating on social media again.

This is happening while her fame is growing in popularity with the general public, reaching heights she has never reached before, as evidenced by her powerful, angry response to pushy fans.

In August 2022, the musician, whose album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is currently atop the Billboard chart, shared a photo of herself in a crouched position on a page of her yearbook.

She laughed at herself when she saw the photo and captioned her post, “Proof my high school hated me.”

In the hilarious video, she lip-syncs dialogue from The Vampire Diaries while slapping her hand over her face in mock embarrassment and laughing at herself.

“Burn it. Did I say stand there and look stupid? No, I said burn it.”

Her yearbook photo showed her as a teenager wearing a baggy, all-black outfit and sitting in an awkward, crouched position with her hands posed in an unnatural way.

It seemed like she wouldn’t wear her outfit again, as she often appears on stage in bold and colorful looks these days.

In the photo, she can be seen wearing a football hoodie with black sweatpants and a white headband over her long, auburn curls, which she has kept the same.

She posed with her chin down and stared up into the camera, a deliberately creepy smile on her face.

The hitmaker Good Luck, Babe!’s music career began in her teens, but it wasn’t until this year that her debut album, often called a “sleeper hit” by her fans, became a commercial success.

When Roan was 17, she uploaded a song she had written, Die Young, to YouTube, which caught the attention of Atlantic Records, who signed her shortly thereafter.

In 2017, she released her debut EP School Nights, followed by her 2020 single titled Pink Pony Club, which marked a shift in her musical style.

That same year, she was fired from Atlantic Records and self-released a series of songs before signing with Island Records.

For her stage performances and public appearances, she is also often seen wearing a more eclectic and dramatic stage makeup; seen in February

In 2023, she released her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

In promotion of that album, Roan is currently on her Midwest Princess tour.

Although the album was not an immediate commercial success, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess began to climb the charts nearly a year after its release.

In addition to her role as the opening act for Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts and Sour tours, she has performed at a number of music festivals, all of which contributed to her sudden breakthrough to the general public.

She is rapidly developing into a superstar and is doing it in her own way. She continues to openly set boundaries for the inappropriate behavior of her fans.
