When you know her parent's address and sister's workplace, you may know a little too much.
Everywhere you turn these days, Chappell Roan seems to be there. It took her a long time to become an overnight success, but every passing week sees her fandom loving her and promoting her a little more.
While this sounds like a dream for most artists — and it still is for Roan — it also seems like she may have to put up some boundaries for fans who take their love a little too far.
America’s favorite Midwest Princess appeared onThe Comment Section with Drew Afualo podcast, where she noted that people have “started to be freaks” and it’s caused her to “pump the brakes” on social media and anything else that can make her "more known" for the time being.
So, how bad do the fans actually get?
According to the starlet, the people who follow her “know where my parents live, and where my sister works.” She also noted that she’d once promised herself if she ever had “stalker vibe” fans or her family was in danger because of her fame, she’d take a step back from music.
Considering all she’s done so far is release her debut album, we hope it doesn’t actually come to that, and that a break is all that’s needed.
“I’m just kind of in this battle,” she said. “I’ve pumped the brakes on, honestly, anything to make me more known. It’s kind of a forest fire right now. I’m not trying to go do a bunch of sh*t.”
Her album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, dropped last year, but her headline performances at Coachella and the Governor's Ball 2024 solidified her fame and skyrocketed her to the platform she’s on now.
Even though Roan’s taking a step back from the intensity of fame for a moment, she also reaffirmed that not all of the attention on her is bad.
“People who I’ve looked up to my entire life are like peers, which is sick,” she said. “Miley [Cyrus] invited me to a party and I was like, ‘You don’t know that you were my first concert when the Jonas Brothers were opening for you.’”
As to what she misses about a quiet life, your favorite artist’s favorite artist jokingly said, “Drugs. Drugs in public. That’s what I miss. Rolling up, being a f**king freak at the bar, or making out with someone at the bar.”
For now, we respect her privacy, but we can’t wait until she returns to the pathway of her meteoric rise.
