Chappell Roan has built more than just a rising pop empire—she’s constructed an invisible “force field” around herself. And no, it’s not some superhero gimmick. It’s the real-life power of setting boundaries with fans, and according to Roan, it’s working.
Speaking with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy, the Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl singer opened up about the fine line between admiration and entitlement, especially as her fame skyrockets. “I think people are scared of me,” she admitted, referencing her viral stance against toxic fan behavior. “I think I made a big enough deal about not talking to me that people do not talk to me.”
Roan’s firm approach to preserving her personal space has even influenced other artists. “When they’re with me, they’re like, ‘It’s a force field around us. People don’t come up to me when I’m with you,’” she shared. Her response? “Damn baby, you say it too!” Encouraging fellow musicians to establish similar boundaries, she’s proving that respect shouldn’t be optional—it should be standard.
But, of course, not everyone gets it. Some critics have misinterpreted Roan’s stance as “complaining about success,” an idea she swiftly shut down. “I’m just complaining about creepy behavior,” she clarified. Loving admiration is one thing—uninvited intrusions into her personal life are another.
Her point? Artists don’t owe fans unlimited access. Fame doesn’t erase the need for privacy, and Chappell Roan is leading the charge in redefining the boundaries between celebrity and fan culture.
