Chappell Roan is making headlines for abruptly canceling two performances at the All Things Go music festival just a day before it began.

On September 27th, the song “Good Luck, Baby!” was broadcast. The 26-year-old singer canceled her scheduled performances on September 28 in New York and September 29 in Columbia, Maryland, citing the “overwhelming” stress in her life and her need to “prioritize” her health.

“I apologize to the people who were waiting to see me at All Things Go in NYC and DC this weekend, but I won't be able to perform,” Roan wrote in a statement on her Instagram Stories. “Things have become overwhelming over the last few weeks and I’m really feeling it.”

“I'm feeling pressure to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health,” she added. “I want to be present at my performances and give the best show possible. Thank you for your understanding. I’ll be back soon xox.”

Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, rose to fame over the summer thanks to a string of Billboard 100 hits and rave performances at music festivals like Coachella, Governors Ball and Bonnaroo.

The singer's statement comes amid other comments she has made in recent weeks about struggles with her mental health and the challenges of sudden fame.

“Every time I walk through my front door it just comes out of me,” Roan told The Guardian this month while discussing her meteoric rise to the top of the charts. “I can't help it, I just start sobbing and either I'm so angry at myself for choosing this path or I'm grieving that the curiosity and pure wonder I felt for the world somehow was taken.”

Roan also revealed to the publication that she was recently diagnosed with severe depression after previously revealing a diagnosis of bipolar II disorder.

Roan has received mixed reviews for her openness about her need for clearer “boundaries” with her fans – and for her willingness to call out her more stalker-happy admirers about their “predatory behavior.”

She echoed that sentiment earlier this month when she told The Face she “might get out of the music industry” because a lot of it felt like “abuse” to her.

August 18: Roan angers fans for acting “creepy” towards her

On August 18, the “Pink Pony Club” singer shared two videos on her TikTok channel in which she slammed obsessive fans who acted “creepy” toward her.

“I don't care that abuse, harassment, stalking or whatever is normal when attacking famous or slightly famous people, whatever,” Roan said in the videos. “I don’t care that it’s normal. I don't care that this kind of crazy behavior comes with the job, the career field I've chosen. That doesn’t make it okay.”

“I don’t want what the hell you get when you see a celebrity,” she said. “I don’t give a fuck if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo, your time, or a hug. This is not normal! That’s strange!”

“I'm allowed to say no to creepy behavior, okay?” she added.

August 23: Roan calls out fans again for their “predatory behavior.”

Roan again appealed to her fans for their “predatory behavior” in a lengthy statement on Instagram on August 23.

Roan explained that she had to “draw lines and boundaries” between her and the fans who felt like they were allowed to “touch” her, “follow” her and act “creepy” towards her when they saw her in meet the public.

“I've had too many non-consensual physical and social interactions and I just need to lay it out and remind you that women don't owe you anything,” Roan said.

The singer explained that she is “at work” during performances or events. Otherwise it is “stamped out”.

“I disagree with the idea that I owe people I don’t know, don’t trust, or who scare me a reciprocal exchange of energy, time, or attention — just because they express admiration,” she wrote . “Women don’t owe you a reason why they don’t want to be touched or talked to.”

Roan clarified that she only targets the type of fans whose predatory behavior has “become normal because of the way well-known women have been treated in the past.”

“This is not a group conversation,” wrote the singer, who turned off comments on her post. “I understand that it is disturbing to hear this from a person in my position. I'm not afraid of the consequences of demanding respect.”

September 11: Roan gets into a heated exchange with a photographer at the VMAs

While walking the red carpet at the 2024 MTV Music Video Awards, Roan got into a heated exchange with a paparazzi photographer.

In a viral video of the confrontation, Roan performed “Good Luck, Babe!” Dressed as Joan of Arc and awarded the night's best new artist award, she can be seen clapping at a photographer who said, “Stop “Shut up.”

Roan turns around, points at the photographer and yells, “No, shut up!” and then adds, “Not me, b—-.”

Roan later opened up about the tense moment to the Guardian, explaining that she doesn't plan to accept the same bad behavior that other celebrities have previously accepted.

“Some girls have been doing it for so long that they're used to it, but I'm not that kind of girl. I won’t be a walk in the park for a man who tells me to shut up.”

Roan also addressed critics who called her behavior at the VMAs “ungrateful,” saying, “They think I'm complaining about my success. I complain about being abused.”

September 16: She reveals she might “quit” the music industry because fame feels “insulting.”

When Roan spoke to The Face in a profile published on September 16, she spoke about “might quit” the music industry due to interactions that felt “abusive” to her.

Roan described an altercation with two men at an airport that began when she refused to sign for goods for them. One of the men became angry and followed Roan to the airport, telling her she needed to “humiliate herself.” Roan ended up crying in an airport bathroom.

“I'm just like, 'What the hell is going on?' I told myself that maybe I should stop now if things get dangerous and I'll keep going anyway. But I didn’t sign up for that part,” she told the publication.

“I feel like fame is just insulting. The vibe of it – stalking, talking s— online, (people who) won't leave you alone, yelling at you in public – is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband.” That's what it feels like. I didn't think it would feel so bad.

However, in the same interview, Roan thanked the fans for treating her with respect.

​”But when people say, 'Whatever you do, it helped me' – I don't think you can trade an award or money or whatever for that compliment,” she said. “I don’t care” about anything other than giving people space to be free. Because that’s what I needed so badly: freedom.”

September 20: She announces that she has been diagnosed with severe depression

Roan told the Guardian in a September 20 report that he had recently been diagnosed with depression. The singer previously announced in an Instagram post that she had been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder.

“I go to therapy twice a week,” she said. “I went to a psychiatrist last week because I thought I didn’t know what was going on. She diagnosed me with severe depression – which I didn’t think I had because I actually don’t.” sad. But I have all the symptoms of severe depression.”

Roan said she believes her depression only began when she began her career as a pop musician.

“I think it’s because my whole life has changed,” she said. “Everything I really enjoy doing now comes with baggage. If I want to be frugal, I have to book a security service and be prepared for the fact that this will not be normal. Going to the park, doing Pilates, doing yoga – how do I do that safely without being followed or harassed?”

In her Sept. 25 video, Roan appeared visibly upset and was careful to emphasize that she did not support Harris.

“I will not settle for the opportunities that lie before me, and you will not make me feel guilty for it,” she said. “So yeah, I'm voting for f—– Kamala, but I'm not settling for the offer because that's questionable.”

“Of course it’s the politics of the right, but it’s also the politics of the left,” Roan said. “That’s why I can’t support it. That’s why I can’t put my entire name behind one on my entire project.”
