Chappell Roan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chappell Roan has had an eventful few days, with news and social media buzzing about her music, public statements, and tour activities. The biggest headline for Roan this week centers on her new single “The Subway,” which has sparked international curiosity due to its direct mention of Saskatchewan. Both CBC and The Canadian Press highlight that she used Saskatchewan in the lyrics simply as a rhyme for “gone,” but her shoutout has turned her into a sudden sensation in the Prairie province. Although she has never performed or even visited there, Roan promised on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music podcast that she’ll do a show in Saskatchewan someday, a vow amplified by local politicians like Premier Scott Moe expressing excitement about her potential visit, even as she has no Canadian show scheduled yet. This spontaneous Canadian connection dovetails with the cultural resonance she achieved when Edmonton Oilers fans began playing her song “Pink Pony Club” after playoff wins earlier in the year.

In terms of career moves, her pop-up tour “Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things” is generating strong ticket demand in New York, Los Angeles, and Kansas City, as reported by AOL. These limited-venue performances come with the announcement that she will soon pause live shows to focus on writing her next album. However, fans hoping for new music will have to be patient—Cosmopolitan and The Pink News both confirm that Roan’s sophomore album is very much on hold. In a frank discussion with both Zane Lowe and Vogue, she explained that the L.A. wildfires forced her out of her home for months, leaving her unsettled and artistically adrift. Roan describes a need to regain daily stability before the creative process resumes, emphasizing it could take “at least five years” to complete the follow-up to “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.” She also reiterated that, for her, songwriting depends on having a routine and a sense of peace, which has been elusive since the wildfires destroyed her Altadena residence in January.

Meanwhile, Roan remains highly visible on the festival circuit, including a headline-grabbing live performance of “Good Luck, Babe!” at Frequency Festival in Austria on August 13, as seen on YouTube. Her increasing profile is also reflected in the creation of themed appreciation events, like the “sugarush: Chappell Roan Night” at an Australian club, which mix her music with queer pop culture and drag performances.

Social media has been ablaze as well, particularly after Troye Sivan and Connor Franta engaged in playful Instagram banter involving Roan. According to The Express Tribune, Troye shared a cropped throwback photo with Roan that sparked speculation and revived “Tronnor” rumors. Both Sivan and Franta used the opportunity to praise Roan publicly, calling her “vocally blessed” and encouraging fans to stream her music.

Unconfirmed but notable, fans are speculating whether these high-profile social media mentions and her outspoken persona might signal potential collaborations or further media projects. For now, though, Roan’s focus remains on live performances, LGBTQ advocacy—she plans to donate some autumn U.S. tour proceeds to trans charities, per The Pink News—and finding creative stability after a year of upheaval.
