Roan discussed dealing with creepy fans, turning down the White House, leaving Billie Eilish on read, and writing new music in her profile
"What’s so infuriating is how people are just now taking me seriously," she said."Like, 'You know what, bitch? I’ve been doing this shit and you’re just now catching up.'"
This past summer, Chappell Roan fundamentally redefined the meaning of blowing up as a pop star. Around the time of her paradigm-shifting, Roan recalled gaining “almost a hundred thousand followers a day.” “I was in severe denial,” she remembered. “They would literally show me some stats and the only thing I could do is say, ‘No, no, no. It’s not like that.’ I couldn’t say, ‘I am gaining success.'”in a way few stars have before. “Please stop touching me.
These life-changing circumstances are compounded by the fact that Roan has been living with bipolar II her whole life, which went undiagnosed until she was 22. One period of mania in 2021 inspired her to be “really insane on TikTok,” she explained, which gained her lots of early followers and streams for songs like “Naked in Manhattan” and “My Kink Is Karma.” But this was a hard time for Roan. “I wasn’t sleeping,” she explained. “I was on the incorrect meds.
She entered outpatient therapy shortly after, which she says she’s incredibly grateful happened before her meteoric rise. “I would not have been able to handle any of this even a year ago today. It would’ve just been too much,” she said. Luckily, she has an impressive group of friends and supporters who’ve reached out to let her know they have her back. You can read some of the sweet messages they’ve sent in the profile, but the list includes Olivia Rodrigo, Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, Hayley Williams, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, all three members of Boygenius, Mitski, Sabrina Carpenter, Orville Peck, Troye Sivan, Noah Kahan, and even Elton John.
