"Fame is just abusive" — Chappell Roan on her success

Chappell Roan's sudden rise to stardom came with the popularity of her song Good Luck, Babe. Since then, the singer has performed at Lollapalooza, the Governor's Ball and Coachella in front of huge crowds.

The singer previously criticized people for being creepy, harassing and stalking her friends and family. In her interview with The Face, she dubbed fame "abusive", adding that she had no idea it would be this bad.

“I feel like fame is just abusive. The vibe of this – stalking, talking s**t 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 know it would feel this bad,” Roan explained.

Chappell Roan recounted an event when she went to catch an early morning flight. Roan said that two guys stood waiting for her at the airport with posters to sign. When she refused, one of them followed her to the TSA lines while yelling at her. The incident left her shaken, and she revealed that she reached out to Lorde for advice on what to do.

“She [Lorde] sent me a list of things I should do [in that situation]. Literally wrote down eight things she wished someone would have told her when she was going through it. And she went through f**king hell. She was a baby!”, Chappell Roan said.

Chappell Roan also mentioned other pop stars like Lady Gaga and Charli XCX who reached out to her after her success to congratulate her and offer her advice. She said that Sabrina Carpenter texted her to talk about their similar situations, adding it was "girlies leaning on each other."
