About this listen
Chappell Roan has landed back in the headlines these past few days and not just for her signature pop anthems. The most talked-about development is her very public and intentional absence from the 2025 MTV VMAs. While her song The Subway was nominated for Song of the Summer and fans were expecting her bold looks and an iconic performance, Roan made it clear via Instagram that she needed “a little nap” after a whirlwind tour of Europe and wasn’t about to compromise her health or artistry just for another red carpet. Her final show of the Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things Europe tour wrapped up in Ireland on September 5, and she used social media to thank supporters and signal she’d be keeping a low profile before hitting the stage again in New York come September 20. Her track record for winning Best New Artist at the 2024 VMAs only made her 2025 no-show more glaring, but according to Cosmopolitan and Elle, the absence reads like a power move: she’s prioritizing longevity and authenticity over the relentless fame game.
Behind the scenes, Roan’s relationship with her fanbase also entered the spotlight after she released a lengthy statement addressing her discomfort with a growing wave of overzealous or predatory fans. AOL and others reported that Roan felt genuinely threatened on and off stage, and she used TikTok to directly address the issue, bringing necessary attention to the fine line between fan enthusiasm and personal boundaries.
On the business front, Roan’s fall tour dates are creating serious buzz. She’s booked multiple high-profile shows starting with Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, on September 21 and additional dates at the same venue running through the 24th. She’s also confirmed stops in Kansas City and Pasadena in October, with live tickets selling fast as fans clamor to catch her comeback after the brief hiatus. Live Nation is already touting the Hot To Go Chappell Roan Party, which took place September 6 at The Ritz, as a sell-out, further cementing her live appeal.
Social media is abuzz with both support and concern. Her open communication about mental health and boundaries is getting as much attention on Twitter and Instagram as her music, and major outlets like Her Campus, Elle, and AOL are framing this as a turning point—Roan is not just a pop star, but an artist setting her own terms. No new singles have officially dropped, though outlets like AOL hint that teasers could be coming as her U.S. tour gets underway. In short, these last days mark a defining chapter: Chappell Roan, headline-maker, hitmaker, and newly vocal advocate for artist self-care, is doing fame her way.
