Chappell Roan, a pop star who faced backlash online for her comments about the November presidential election, has announced that she is dropping out of the All Things Go music festivals. She apologized to fans on Instagram, citing overwhelming pressure and a need to prioritize her health. The festival expressed support for Roan’s decision and emphasized the importance of artists’ well-being.
Roan has been open about the toll of fame on her mental health, sharing her struggles with severe depression and bipolar II disorder. She has also been vocal about her political views, including rejecting an invitation to perform at the White House and encouraging people to vote for local issues. Recently, she faced criticism for refusing to endorse a candidate in the upcoming election and for suggesting there are issues on “both sides.”
In a TikTok video, Roan disclosed that she will be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in November but emphasized that endorsing and voting are different. Some fans expressed disappointment over her cancellation of festival performances, while others supported her decision and condemned the backlash she received for her political views. Roan has more shows scheduled in October, with no immediate response from her spokesperson regarding her future plans.
