She’s hot to go!
Chappell Roan made her return to the stage just days after abruptly canceling her All Things Go Music Festival appearance over mental health concerns.
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer, 26, belted out her songs for 80 minutes during the Franklin, Tenn. Midwest Princess Tour stop Tuesday night.
Although the pop icon didn’t address her sudden cancellations, she told the audience, per AP News, “I know how hard it is to be queer in the Midwest and South. And I understand.
“And so, I’m very grateful that I can be here and show up — and clock into my job. And I just have to remind myself that this is why I do it. … I can see you and feel you […].”
Her concert comes just a few days after she canceled her two appearances at the All Things Go Music Festival in New York and Washington, DC.
“I apologize to people who have been waiting to see me in NYC & DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I am unable to perform,” Roan wrote in an Instagram story on Sept. 27. “Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it.”
Roan explained that she felt pressured to “prioritize a lot of things right now” and needed a few days to prioritize her health.
“I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible,” she added. “Thank you for understanding. Be back soon.”
Just last month, Roan revealed she was diagnosed with severe depression as she struggles with her rising fame.
“I went to a psychiatrist last week because I was like, I don’t know what’s going on. She diagnosed me with severe depression – which I didn’t think I had because I’m not actually sad,” the “Pink Pony Club” artist told the Guardian in an interview published Sept. 20.
“But I have every symptom of someone who’s severely depressed,” she shared, explaining that she experiences brain fog, poor focus, forgetfulness and “a very lackluster viewpoint.”

In fact, Roan has found it hard to maintain boundaries with her fans, previously blasting some for not respecting her privacy and rudly asking for photos.
“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever. I don’t care that it’s normal,” she said in TikaTok video at the time.
She also lashed out at a photographer on the red caper at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, telling the shutterbuck to “shut the f–k up.”
