She’s one of the pop girlies of the summer.
But after exploding onto the music scene, Chappell Roan is finding the transition to fame a struggle.
The singer, 26, launched into the charts with pop bangers such as HOT TO GO!, Red Wine Supernova, Pink Pony Club and Good Luck, Babe!, earning her well-deserved success after years of hard work to make it in the industry.
But although Roan is one of the most sought after acts of the moment, her fame has come at a price – as the star has now uploaded two TikTok videos, calling out “weird” fans for “stalking” her and her loved ones.
“If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window? Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, ‘Can I take a photo with you?’ and she says ‘No, what the f***?’ and then you get mad at this random lady?” she said.
“Would you be offended if she says no to your time because she has her own time? Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online?
“This is a lady you don’t know and she doesn’t know you at all. Would you assume that she’s a good person, assume she’s a bad person? Would you assume everything you read online about her is true? I’m a random b****, you’re a random b****. Just think about that for a second, OK?”
Roan continued, “I don’t care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I’ve chosen. That does not make it OK, that doesn’t make it normal. That doesn’t mean that I want it, that doesn’t mean that I like it.
“I don’t want whatever the f*** you think you’re supposed to be entitled to whenever you see a celebrity. I don’t give a f*** if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or for a hug. That’s not normal. That’s weird. It’s weird how people think that you know a person just because you see them online and you listen to the art they make. That’s f***ing weird! I’m allowed to say no to creepy behavior, OK?”
‘Do what you gotta do, baby girl’
Although Roan may be struggling with her newfound fame, her star is yet to rise.
With celebrity fans such as Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Granda and Lady Gaga, the singer has even caught the eye of democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who has used her song Femininomenon in her campaign on social media.
Last week, Adele even name-dropped Roan at her huge stadium residency in Munich.
“I heard a song a little while ago at my birthday, and I loved it, and it was on one of my friend’s playlists. And then, I went down a rabbit hole on Monday. All day long,” said the British megastar.
“She is spectacular, and it turns out, she’s not just got one song. She’s got, like, seven f—ing brilliant songs. I think she’s absolutely amazing. I’m very excited for her, but my friend also said she’s a bit scared. So, do what you gotta do, baby girl, but you’re phenomenal.”
“Anyway, that’s all I’ve done this week is discover Chappell Roan.”
