Chappell Roan blasts ‘entitled’ fans for ‘creepy behaviour’ amid her rapid rise in fame

The musician Chappell Roan has spoken out against fans’ “creepy behaviour” amid the explosion of interest in her and her music, saying she and her family have been stalked and harassed both in person and online.

The 26-year-old singer, whose debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess now sits behind Taylor Swift at No 2 on the US music charts, posted two TikTok videos on Monday night, in which she called out people for allegedly stalking her and her family, bullying her online, shouting at her in the street and becoming abusive when she refused to pose for photos or give hugs.

“If you saw a random woman on the street, would you yell at her from your car window? Would you harass her in public? Would you go up to a random lady and say, ‘Can I take a photo with you?’ and she says ‘No, what the fuck?’ and then you get mad at this random lady?” she said.
