Chappell Roan is taking a break from the stage and the spotlight after a summer full of big performances.

The rising pop star announced via her Instagram Stories on Friday that she “can't perform” at the All Things Go Festival in New York City and Washington, DC this weekend because “things have become overwhelming over the last few weeks and I'm really sad.” am.”It.”

“I'm feeling pressure to prioritize a lot of things at the moment and I need a few days to prioritize my health. I want to be present at my performances and give the best show possible,” her statement continued. “Thank you for your understanding.”

Earlier this month, Roan made headlines when she expressed her conflicting views on the US presidential election. She initially told the Guardian that “there are issues on both sides” before finally announcing via her TikTok that she plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

Earlier this summer, Roan also shared thoughts about her fan base following her meteoric rise and certain people she found pushy. She shared two videos on TikTok last month in which she criticized some fans who followed her, “stalked” her family and demanded photos or hugs in public, despite Roan's resistance.

“I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing that you can do to people who are famous or a little famous,” she said in a video. “It's weird how people think you know a person because you see them online and listen to the art they make… I'm allowed to say no to creepy behavior, okay?”

The “All Things Go” music festival is scheduled to take place Saturdays and Sundays in Columbia, MD and Forest Hills, NY. Janelle Monáe and Renée Rapp will perform.
