Rising star Chappell Roan tearfully told her concert audience on Wednesday night that she is having a “really hard time” keeping up with the sudden speed of her fame.
In the last few weeks, the Missouri-born singer-songwriter has surged in popularity, thanks largely in part to her catchy viral hit, “Good Luck Babe!,” and her headline-making festival appearances. She’s also logged the highest streaming days of her career for her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” which only recently hit No. 1 on the iTunes charts despite it being released in September of last year.
Adding fuel to her fire, Roan’s appearance in Raleigh on Wednesday night came just as Tennessee’s Bonnaroo festival announced they were moving her set from a small tent to the main stage in anticipation of her big turnout.
