Chappell Roan, who has experienced a meteoric rise in fame this year, is candid about the struggles she faces in the spotlight. In a recent interview with The Face, Roan compared fame to an “abusive ex-husband,” describing the constant harassment and toxic behavior from fans that she endures. During a particularly difficult moment in an airport, after being berated by a man for refusing to sign posters, Roan sought advice from fellow artist Lorde, who offered her a list of things to do in such situations based on her own experiences.
Lorde, along with other pop icons like Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, and Phoebe Bridgers, has been instrumental in supporting Roan through these challenges. Roan explained that Lorde’s guidance helped her navigate the pressures of stardom, which she likened to a “toxic relationship.” She also shared how fellow rising star Sabrina Carpenter has been a source of comfort, as they lean on each other during their simultaneous career booms.
Despite the difficulties, Roan is growing more outspoken, recently calling out predatory fan behavior and standing up for herself during public events like the VMAs, where she won Best New Artist. With the support of her female peers, Roan is navigating the confusion and fear that come with fame, emerging stronger and more confident in the process.
