Chappell Roan strutted back onto the stage like a glittery, musical tornado for one of her last shows on The Midwest Princess Tour, which has been raging on for over a yearβbecause clearly, the people canβt get enough! On Tuesday night (October 1), she blessed Franklin, Tennessee, with her presence, taking over the FirstBank Amphitheater. And, honey, this wasnβt just any night; it was basically a pop-princess coronation ceremony.
The cherry on top of this glittery cake? None other than Paramoreβs Hayley Williams was spotted fangirling hard from the side of the stage. I mean, can you blame her? Chappell was serving up vocals, looks, and probably enough sass to power an entire city grid. Hayley wasnβt just in the audience sipping a latte eitherβoh no, she took to Instagram with all the feels.
βYβall know I cried,β she wrote, probably while wiping tears with the sleeves of an oversized hoodie, because vibes. βThe guys and I grew up here (Franklin, yβall, yeehaw) and itβs not exactly known for being a magical rainbow fairyland for the LGBTQIA+ community. To see someone like Chappell owning that stage and being celebrated? Itβs HUGE. Shows like these matter, and Iβm so freaking lucky I got to see it. Also, that band is too good. Like, way too good. Someone give them a Grammy, and a massage.β
Chappellβs not done blowing minds either. Sheβs got four more dates to bring her sparkle to the masses! Up next, Rogers, Arkansas, on Wednesday (October 2), because, yes, Arkansas gets to have fun too. Then, sheβll rock Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Thursday (October 3)βno, Council Bluffs isnβt a board game, itβs a real place. And finally, sheβll finish up with a bang in Austin, Texas, on October 6th and 13th, where the BBQ is spicy and so are the vibes.
Oh, and in case you missed the drama, Chappell recently canceled two shows because she had to take care of her mental health. No biggieβjust a pop star being a responsible human while dodging controversial political nonsense like sheβs in a reality show. Stay fabulous, Chappell, weβre rooting for you!
