Pop sensation Chappell Roan has recently voiced apprehensions about the darker side of her rapidly growing fame. The 26-year-old singer, whose career has seen a meteoric rise in the past year, shared her worries about privacy invasion and potential safety risks for her family during a recent podcast appearance on “The Comment Section With Drew Afualo”.
The artist, known for her hit single “Good Luck, Babe!” and debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” seemed particularly concerned over fans discovering personal information about her family members. “People have started to be freaks,” she stated, referencing incidents where individuals have tracked down her parents’ residence and her sister’s workplace.
She revealed that she had previously set a personal boundary regarding her career, vowing to step away from music if her or her family’s safety was compromised due to stalker-like behavior from fans. “We’re there,” Roan admitted, indicating that this threshold has already been reached.
In response to these concerns, Chappell Roan disclosed that she has begun to limit activities that might further increase her public profile. “I’ve pumped the brakes on honestly anything to make me more known,” she explained, describing her current popularity as a “forest fire” that she’s allowing to run its course without actively fueling it.
Not minding all the negatives attached, Chappell Roan’s career continues to flourish. Her recent accomplishments include performing at major music festivals like Coachella and Governors Ball, as well as appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” She also opened for Olivia Rodrigo during the “Guts” world tour.
Interestingly, Roan attributes much of her recent success to embracing her authentic self and honoring her “inner child.” She described how this shift in mindset, which involved adopting a more playful and glittery aesthetic, coincided with her career’s upward trajectory.
