The eccentric musician performed her latest single “Good Luck, Babe!” and reflected on the long road that led her to this moment of success.
The Journey to Success
During a performance last week, Chappell Roan got emotional telling her audience about how she’s been processing her meteoric rise, which was already quick-moving and seems to have completely exploded following her performance at Governors Ball. She donned a Statue of Liberty costume, further showcasing her theatrical and elaborate fashion choices.
An Unlikely Path
When the eccentric musician arrived for her appearance on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon asked how she’s been feeling lately. She responded without a hint of doubt, It feels like I was right all along.
Roan recalled the time she signed her first record deal at 17, an accomplishment that was announced to her entire high school via loudspeaker in the same sentence as the lunch special of the day. Despite initial skepticism and challenges, it wasn’t until about a year ago that Roan earned enough from music to make a living.
Overcoming Adversities
Roan shared with Fallon that she recorded her debut studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, with fun and enjoyment as central goals. Despite contemplating giving up music at one point, the album’s success validated her pursuit. I mean, I feel kind of like I’d made it already whenever I was like, ‘oh my god, people showed up to my concert,’
she explained. It was like, people came? Everything else has been the cherry on top.
A Night to Remember on The Tonight Show
During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Chappell Roan sat opposite Jimmy Fallon dressed as a black swan with kinky bleach blonde hair. She fired off iconic lines throughout the interview.
And the cherry on top of Roan’s appearance was an extravagant performance of her latest single Good Luck, Babe!, where she performed in an icy ensemble, decked out in feathers and framed by a swan bench in an on-stage garden.
