Following two sensational shows at Reading and Leeds Festivals over the weekend, Chappell Roan is headed to Edinburgh. The Midwest Princess is headlining two sold out shows at the Royal Highland Centre on Tuesday (26 August) and Wednesday (27 August). If her recent shows prove anything, it's that Chappell knows how to put on a show - but we already knew that!
Chappell Roan has officially secured a UK number one with her iconic sapphic breakup anthem "The Subway," reaching the top spot after its release on 1 August.
Chappell Roan's absence from VMA 2025 nominations is surprising given her recent success, including a BRIT Award win and being named Best New Artist last year.
Chappell Roan insists that despite releasing new music, a second album "doesn't exist yet". She explains how her first album and second album will probably share a similar creative process. "It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next." Roan does not yield to industry pressure, stating that making good music requires authenticity and cannot be forced. She notes that even if she spent countless hours in the studio, it would not necessarily lead to an album any faster.
"All of a sudden, I realised I could truly be any way I wanted to be, and no one would bat an eye," shared Chappell Roan, reflecting on her experience at The Abbey.
"I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art. When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.' That's when it changed."
