Chappell Roan wasn’t going to do a US tour after “really questioning” her reasons for performing and being left “so sad”.<\/p>\n
Speaking candidly to fans during the final show of her three-city Visions of Damsels and Dangerous Things tour in Pasadena on Saturday night (11.10.25), the Pink Pony Club singer shared that her struggles with being in the public eye made her not want to put herself through it, and she began to doubt her purpose.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, once she returned to the stage, she realised it is to “bring queer people joy and tell them that it\u2019s OK.”<\/p>\n
She began: \u201cI wasn\u2019t gonna do a US tour until the very last minute, I decided to do one, and I\u2019m so glad I did. It\u2019s so fun. This job is so awesome. Thank you for making it awesome.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything made sense this year: Why I do this. Last year, I was really questioning, \u2018Why am I doing this to myself? I\u2019m so sad. I feel so left out in public. I feel so awkward all the time.\u2019 And I always felt like, \u2018Why am I putting myself through this? If this feels so, if this is taking so much away from me, what is this for?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cAnd then I started doing shows again, and it all made sense that it was to literally bring queer people joy and tell them that it\u2019s OK.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so many things in the world that are so \u2018f*** you\u2019 and like, then there is this. The only thing that matters anymore is joy to me. And protecting that, and peace and safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I hope you know that when you are here, you are safe, and I want you here, you can be whoever you are tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chappell concluded: \u201cYou\u2019re cherished for everything that you are. Even if you\u2019re not queer, I hope you know that I include you. This isn\u2019t just for the gays.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for being here and supporting me and supporting each other. This is the biggest headline show I\u2019ve ever had. So thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old singer has had a challenging 2025, having cancelled concerts to prioritise her mental health after struggling with her rise to fame and having been diagnosed with severe depression.<\/p>\n
She recently thanked her fans for “sticking with me” through a “really hard” year.<\/p>\n
The Subway singer told the crowd at her pop-up gig at Forest Hill Stadium in Queens, New York, last month: “It\u2019s been quite a year. I can\u2019t believe we\u2019re here, honestly. It\u2019s crazy. Thank you for sticking with me through it… It\u2019s been really hard.”<\/p>\n
She continued: “I\u2019m so glad I can come to work like this. I just needed a place like this so bad when I was 13, 14. I just wanted to dress up however I wanted, and I wanted to wear makeup and look weird. So I hope you know that you\u2019re welcome here, however you show up today. You are cherished.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
