Her new song, The Subway, comes out July 31<\/p>\n

Chappell Roan might call herself the Midwest Princess, but could she be the new queen of Saskatchewan?<\/p>\n

The Grammy Award-winning pop star name-drops the Prairie province in her soon-to-be-released single, The Subway.<\/p>\n

The song is about dealing with a bad breakup. Roan sings that if she can\u2019t get over it, \u201cI\u2019m moving to Saskatchewan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roan announced on her Instagram account Monday that the song comes out on July 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saskatchewanian fans \u2014 and even the mayor of the capital, Regina \u2014 say they\u2019re thrilled with the shout-out, and even want Roan to make an official tour stop in the province.<\/p>\n

Wait a minute. Saskatchewan?<\/p>\n

The Prairie province isn\u2019t normally the kind of place that shows up in pop songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cA win for us from Saskatchewan for once,\u201d one person commented on a teaser video for the track. Others said her first tour stop should be in Regina.<\/p>\n

The mayor of Regina, Chad Bachynski, said he was \u201cthrilled\u201d about the mention.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not every day that a Grammy-winning artist gives Saskatchewan a lyrical shoutout,\u201d he told CBC Kids News in an email.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fun moment, and we welcome it with open arms.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tourism Saskatchewan is also happy with the mention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see Chappell Roan fans discovering Saskatchewan through the song,\u201d a spokesperson told CBC Kids News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While they can\u2019t predict whether the song will lead to increased visits to the province, they said the tourism agency is \u201calways happy to welcome those who choose to explore Saskatchewan.\u201d<\/p>\n

But is she really thinking about moving to the Prairies?\u00a0<\/p>\n

CBC Kids News reached out to Roan and her team and have yet to hear back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So that remains a mystery!<\/p>\n

But if Roan is considering a move, she might want to learn the correct way to pronounce the province\u2019s name first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Bachynski, the last syllable of \u201cSaskatchewan\u201d doesn\u2019t rhyme with \u201cgone,\u201d as Roan sings it in The Subway.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pronounced suh-SKATCH-uh-wun. Four syllables, emphasis on the second,\u201d he said. \u201cWe hope Chappell will come here for a show and we can teach her first-hand!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
