Chappell Roan is undoubtedly one of 2024’s biggest surprises. The 26-year-old has seen a remarkable boost in her career over the past few months following the release of “Good Luck, Babe!” The song, released on April 5, has achieved incredible success, amassing nearly 200 million streams and marking her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. This surge in popularity has brought numerous new listeners and fans to Chappell’s discography, resulting in a significant increase in streams. Her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” has climbed to the top spot on the US iTunes Albums Chart nearly a year after its release. Tracks like “Red Wine Supernova” and “HOT TO GO!” are experiencing newfound success, rising on the Daily Global Spotify Chart.

The growing attention around Chappell’s music has translated into larger audiences at her concerts. This weekend, she is set to perform at the Bonnaroo festival, and after drawing a huge crowd at the Governors Ball, her set has been moved to the main stage. Despite this sudden rise to fame, which might suggest she’s a new artist, Chappell is not at the beginning of her career. She started in 2017 with her debut EP “School Nights,” but began to gain notoriety when Olivia Rodrigo recruited her as the opening act for her Sour Tour and later the Guts World Tour. Now, Chappell is finding her own success after years in the music industry. Last night, while performing in Raleigh, North Carolina, she burst into tears as she reflected on the recent changes in her career: “I just want to be honest with the crowd,” she began. “I feel a little off today because I think my career is going really fast and it’s hard to keep up. I’m just being honest, I’m having a hard time today.”

Chappell’s candid moment on stage serves as a powerful reminder of the emotional toll that sudden success can have on artists. Watch the moment below:
