The Avengers of Pop Music Have Rallied to Support Chappell Roan

The post The Avengers of Pop Music Have Rallied to Support Chappell Roan appeared first on Consequence .

In a new interview, Chappell Roan opened up to Rolling Stone about the women who have reached out to her in the midst of her breakout summer and plea for harder boundaries with overstepping fans . The list is akin to the Avengers of pop music girls rallying behind Roan: she named Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, Mitski, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, the members of boygenius and MUNA, longtime pal Olivia Rodrigo, and Lorde among those who have offered their support.

Additionally, Roan described Hayley Williams as “the strongest bitch ever” and noted that she’s found a unique kinship with Sabrina Carpenter, who is also experiencing a similarly disorienting career boom. “She just feels like everything is flying, and she’s just barely hanging on,” Roan said of the “Espresso” singer. Last week, Jewel also publicly offered her support for Roan.

Additionally, in witnessing the blowback to her entirely reasonable request for people to stop doing things like calling her parents or kissing her in public, she spoke with Phoebe Bridgers about “how fandom behavior has become increasingly ‘abusive and violent.'” Similarly, she received an email from Mitski: “I just wanted to humbly welcome you to the shittiest exclusive club in the world, the club where strangers think you belong to them and they find and harass your family members,” it read.

While it’s other women in pop music with whom she’s found specific solidarity, she noted that Orville Peck, Noah Kahan, Troye Sivan, and her friend Elton John were vocal in their support, too. “I am very protective of her,” John told Rolling Stone . “She is kind, innocent, and wonderful. She is not ‘Chappell Roan’ offstage – a bit like me. She is one of those people who I felt like I have known for a long time.”

Later in the interview, Roan also spoke to the new music she’s developing with producer Dan Nigro, the producer behind her excellent The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess . She shared that they have five or six songs they feel “pretty good about,” including a country song and more of the ’80s-style bangers for which she’s become known. While she’s been playing unreleased track “The Subway” throughout her summer of festivals, she said it probably won’t be the next single.

Tomorrow night, Roan is set to take the stage at the 2024 VMAs .
