Chappell Roan broke down into tears while performing on stage at her latest concert.
The 26-year-old singer – who hit the red carpet at the 2024 ASCAP Pop Music Awards last month – choked up during her concert in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday night.
The Good Luck, Babe! hitmaker – born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz – had tears running down her face as she told the audience: ‘I guess I just want to be honest with the crowd. I just feel a little off today ‘cause I think that my career is going really fast and it’s really hard to keep up.
‘So I’m just being honest that I’m just having a hard time today.’
The rising star went on to explain that her meteoric rise is hard to take in even if she is living out her dream.

Chappell continued: ‘So sorry that — I’m not trying to give you, like, a lesser show. It’s just, there’s a lot… Thank you for understanding.
‘This is all I’ve ever wanted. It’s just heavy sometimes, I think.’
Chappell has seen a massive uptick in her fandom in recent months as her current Midwest Princess Tour was set for club-sized venues.
The demand has been so high that some dates have been moved to bigger venues which have still continued to sell out.
The Willard, Missouri even reportedly pulled bigger crowds than headliners including Ed Sheeran at the Boston Calling festival last month.
This Sunday she will be performing at the highly-popular Bonnaroo festival as she was originally set to play one of the smaller stages in a tent.
After public outcry, Chappell was upgraded to the outdoor Which Stage in order to be able to accommodate her rabid fanbase.
The talented star’s music is inspired by 1980s synth-pop and early 2000s pop hits as her performance style has often been described as ‘campy,’ which is defined as ‘an aesthetic style and sensibility that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value.’
