Chappell Roan Talks About Mental Health And Her Stage Alter-Ego

Buy Me A Coffee

Chappell Roan’s whirlwind rise to stardom has her doing backflips (mentally) and completely rethinking her sanity game! At the ripe age of 26, this “HOT TO GO” sensation has gone from singing to her houseplants to blowing up the internet (in a good way) in 2024. And naturally, all that fame has been a total wrecking ball for her mental health routine.

Sitting down at the Grammy Museum on November 7, Chappell spilled the tea on how wild this year has been and why she had to invent an alter ego that can handle all the glitz and craziness without spontaneously combusting.

Quick Fun Fact: if you thought “Chappell Roan” sounded like a character straight out of a fantasy novel, you’re not wrong! Chappell is a stage name—a secret superhero identity if you will—and her real name is Kayleigh. But she’s not a spy or anything (probably).

“Chappell is like this…whole different character,” she explained with a sigh to The Hollywood Reporter, probably while adjusting her metaphorical cape. “I just can’t keep being ‘Chappell’ all the time. It’s, like, exhausting.” You know, just the usual struggle of not being able to perform as your onstage alter ego at Starbucks.

Now, let’s talk mental health. This year’s success hasn’t just rocked her world—it’s basically thrown her routine out the window and stomped on it. “My life is totally different now. It’s a circus in here,” she confessed, making vague gestures that we can only assume involved her head. “This kind of year just…does things to people.”

She elaborated, saying, “Imagine if every huge thing in someone’s career happened, like, all at once. And then multiply it by 10. That’s my life in five months!” She wasn’t clear on whether she’s developed superhuman powers or if she’s just acquired a bunch of new responsibilities, but one thing’s certain—she’s running on pure adrenaline.

So, what’s her current mental health routine? Well, she has no idea. She’s on a rollercoaster with no brake pedal, just holding on and hoping she figures it out before her alter ego Chappell decides to take a long vacation and leave Kayleigh to fend off the paparazzi alone. Stay tuned for the next episode of “Chappell Roan’s Wild Year,” where she might invent a third alter ego just to get through Monday mornings.
