About this listen
Chappell Roan has kept the pop world buzzing with both her music and headline-making moves in recent days. After much speculation among fans, Cosmopolitan and Elle confirm she skipped the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, despite her high-profile nomination for Song of the Summer with The Subway. Fresh off an international festival run and last year’s Best New Artist win, Chappell told Vogue she needed a breather and was focusing on a run of pop-up shows set for New York, Los Angeles, and Kansas City later this month. She revealed that the pain behind The Subway led her to delay the song’s release, adding with candor that making a video felt too emotionally taxing at the moment and hinting that a sophomore album is years off: she’s not the type to rush her art just to meet fan demand.
In the business world, talks are heating up between Chappell’s management and the CEO of REAL District in Regina, Saskatchewan, as reported by CKOM. While her tongue-in-cheek lyric about moving to Saskatchewan may remain a punchline, the venue’s leadership is actively planning to book her, aiming for a marquee performance as part of a broader push to position Regina as a live music hotspot in 2026.
Social media continues to buzz with Roan’s moments on and offstage. A viral moment came when she unapologetically called out a former teacher as a “bitch” while performing at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, a clip seeded across TikTok and Instagram and stoking both amusement and admiration for her candor, according to AOL. She also courted attention in the lead-up to the Grammys by posting an unfiltered, makeup-free selfie, letting her signature curls and authenticity take the spotlight.
On a more serious note, Chappell posted a lengthy statement across her platforms addressing increasingly invasive fan behaviors. As AOL and The Independent detail, she delineated clear boundaries, citing discomfort over stalking and aggressive interactions, particularly highlighting the right to privacy for herself, her friends, and family. She expressed love for her community but insisted on respectful engagement, stating she feels both more loved and less safe than ever—a reflection of the paradox facing many rising stars today.
What’s clear is that every headline and gesture—whether an award snub, a pointed lyric, or a viral outburst—cements Chappell Roan as a pop provocateur whose every move is scrutinized, discussed, and, increasingly, rooted in the demand for both creative autonomy and personal safety.
