In Chaperone’s new single, “The Subway,” she sings: “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone / Well, fuck this city, I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan.”
Even before the song dropped, Tourism Saskatchewan reported more than 230 social media mentions and nearly 40,000 interactions related to the region.
“It’s great news for our province,” Jonathan Potts, CEO of Tourism Saskatchewan, told ABC News. “It’s a lot of fun to have such a wonderful, popular artist singing our praises and giving us the opportunity to tell the story of Saskatchewan.”
When asked about the region’s reception to Roan, who is a prominent voice in the LGBTQ+ community, Potts claimed the region was welcoming. “People are reacting very positively. It’s a very open, welcome province. Everybody is welcome here, and everybody belongs here,” he said.
