"On Sept. 23, the singer brought her international festival show, Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things, to New York's Forest Hills Stadium as part of a limited series of U.S. pop-up concerts, which show just how far she's come since skyrocketing to pop stardom in 2024. Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things transforms Roan's debut album, The Rise & Fall of a Midwest Princess (plus her chart-topping follow-up singles), into a whimsical fairytale."
"The singer performed in a gothic castle with a lookout tower, monogrammed gates, and bird-like architecture, as dragons, fairies, and other mystical creatures soared through the skies behind her. It's a fittingly extravagant setting that now matches Roan's stage presence, which was on full display with her soaring vocals, fantastical costumes, and expert-level stage banter. Roan has always had rock-star chops, but now, her shows have grown into a true reflection of her talent."
"Roan performed her newest single, "The Subway," at her shows for over a year before releasing the track, in part because she had trouble replicating the magic of her live version in the studio. She succeeded in the end, but this tour proves "The Subway" is still best experienced live, as Roan belts out mind-blowing vocal runs while thousands of fans sing along to the passionate, cathartic outro."
"No one takes the iconic "HOT TO GO!" dance more seriously than Roan, who taught the audience exactly how to do it - and issued a stern warning. "Last time I did this, there were three people that were sitting down while doing it and I stopped the show," she said. The heat was also not an excuse for not participating. "Guys, I'm sweating, it totally looks like I peed myself," Roan quipped."
On Sept. 23, Chappell Roan brought Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things to New York's Forest Hills Stadium as part of a limited U.S. pop-up series. The production turns The Rise & Fall of a Midwest Princess and subsequent singles into a whimsical fairytale with a gothic castle set, lookout tower, monogrammed gates, bird-like architecture, and flying mythical creatures. The show emphasizes soaring vocals, elaborate costumes, and playful stage banter. "The Subway" remains most powerful live, featuring intense vocal runs and a cathartic outro. Roan also led interactive moments like the "HOT TO GO!" dance, enforcing full audience participation.
