Missouri-born, LA-based pop artist ChappellRoan attends her first-ever New York pride weekend.
It’s Saturday night in the heart of New York’s West Village, and Chappell Roan and I cannot get a table. Or, at least, not one that’s quiet enough for an interview. The neighborhood, which is chronically a scene, is next-level alive tonight. Thumping beats drift out of bars; the people who dance to them spill out onto sidewalks and into the streets. The mood is electric.
When we’re seated a few minutes later, she begins where we left off: the fact that her life, lately, has involved grappling with an upswing of success after years of hustling for it. Roan, who was born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz and is 25 years old, is hardly an industry newcomer. She’s been in the pop game for going on a decade, signing her first major label deal with Atlantic Records in 2017. In 2020, the label dropped her.
“People always say, getting what you want doesn’t always make you happy,” she says. “I never really knew what that meant or felt like. I’m sad that I’m not bouncing off the walls about it all, because it’s all working — everything that I’ve been working for my whole career. It’s crazy. I have everything that I’ve ever wanted, and I am sad. Or, it’s not sad, I just feel like…” she trails off, mulling whether or not to say the next thing.
Roan has also surrounded herself with a strong circle to keep her positive; many of her teammates were personal friends of hers prior to working together. As we pay the bill and start making moves to head to our next stop of the night, Roan discovers that one of her team members — who, for the record, had no idea we were eating at Amelie — is there, too, on a date that is not going particularly well. Roan shuffles over to their table, presumably to rescue her colleague.
