Chappell Roan, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, recently appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she candidly discussed the pressures of public expectations, her evolving relationship with fans, and her latest musical endeavors.

Known for her outspoken opinions and beliefs, Roan shared with host Alex Cooper how her openness often leads to heightened expectations from the public. “People expect me to play by different rules because I’m gay and I should be more politically correct about that, and I should actually be way more knowledgeable about it,” she explained. “So I get asked a lot of crazy questions that a lot of my peers would not get asked.”

She emphasized that while she strives to be informed, it’s unrealistic to expect her to know everything about every topic. “I don’t know everything about being a woman. I don’t know everything about fashion or drag or performing,” Roan admitted. “I try to know everything I can, but when I don’t answer a question correctly or I don’t acknowledge one community, it’s like, how can I do it all?”

Roan also addressed the challenges of balancing her artistic responsibilities with the demands of her career. “How can these girls tour, write, perform, interview, sleep, eat and workout? And how can they do all and lead a team and be a boss and pay people and be like fucking so politically educated,” she questioned.

In her conversation, Roan touched upon the backlash she faced for her nuanced political stance during the 2024 presidential election. She had expressed support for Kamala Harris without offering a full endorsement, a position that sparked significant discourse. Additionally, her impassioned plea for health insurance for recording artists during her 2025 Grammy Awards speech ignited further discussions about the industry’s treatment of its talent.

Roan also shared insights into her interactions with fans, noting a shift in behavior since she set personal boundaries due to concerning experiences. “I think people are scared of me,” she confessed. “I think I made a big enough deal about not talking to me that people do not talk to me.” She recounted instances where friends observed a “force field” around her, preventing fans from approaching.

Addressing the impact of her boundaries, Roan acknowledged that some fans might feel hurt or disrespected. However, she emphasized the importance of self-protection. “I’m not complaining about success,” she clarified. “I’m just complaining about creepy behavior. I love admiration. Everyone loves admiration. I just don’t want you to interrupt me when I’m having a fight with my girlfriend.”

Roan also discussed her personal life, revealing that she has been in a serious relationship for six months. She expressed concerns about dating in the public eye, stating, “I’m scared. I don’t trust anyone. I just think in my head, I’m like, any new person that I’m texting, I’m like, ‘I’m assuming they will screenshot this and send it to someone else.'”

On the musical front, Roan teased new material, announcing that her upcoming single, “The Giver,” is “not the only song” on the way. The track, co-written with producer Dan Nigro, marks her first foray into the country genre. Roan shared her excitement about the project, stating, “We’ve never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music.” She also hinted at a broader musical direction, expressing a desire to create songs that make her feel happy and fun.

Her candidness and willingness to address complex topics continue to resonate with fans and peers alike, highlighting her authenticity and commitment to her artistry.
