Sabrina Carpenter has joined Chappell Roan, Charli XCX and Noah Kahan in making donations to a healthcare support charity.The move comes after former NME Cover star Chappell Roan won her first Grammy at this year’s ceremony, and used her acceptance speech for Best New Artist to call out the music industry.

In her comments, she “demanded that labels in the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a liveable wage and health care, especially developing artists.”Now, she has received backing from Charli XCX, Noah Kahan and labelmate Sabrina Carpenter.This comes as Roan joined forces with the industry non-profit group Backline recently, branding the collaboration as ‘We Got You’.

According to new reports from various outlets, the public donation records show that Carpenter matched the money put in by the ‘Pink Pony Club’ singer, giving $25,000 to the cause.The donation comes in a bid to “support accessibility of health care for artists,” and to “create a safer and more supported industry for artists to thrive.” Backline also confirmed the move by Carpenter in a statement to Billboard.She joins Charli XCX and Noah Kahan who have each pledged $25,000 to the charity to create better access to healthcare for up-and-coming artists following Roan’s Grammys speech.“Hey @chappellroan – I’m going to match your 25k to support artist’s access to healthcare,” the ‘Stick Season‘ hitmaker wrote, announcing his decision. “I’m inspired by you.

Happy to help get the ball rolling. Money where my mouth is!”Shortly afterwards, the ‘Brat’ singer shared a similar post which read: “I saw @noahkahanmusic say that he would do the same and so I thought I’d follow suit.
