“This has been amazing and hard and beautiful and eye opening and empowering and transformative and every emotion ever. Thank you thank you thank you for everything. Thank you for showing up for this project and believing in me.”
Holding up her album vinyl copy against a backdrop of promo posters, the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer opened up about the changes her life has had this last year. Despite the album not immediately becoming a massive hit, Chappell Roan’s opening act on Olivia Rodrigo’s tour and her festival performances changed everything. Before we knew it, the summer was already owned by the singer who had her tracks and records climbing the top of the charts.
However, fame has its downsides, as the singer recently opened up about being diagnosed with severe depression. She shared that her life-changing success has come with unexpected emotional challenges. Still, despite the lows, this Midwest princess is undoubtedly carving out her spot on the pop throne.
