A conversation with Chappell Roan, the yodeling, queer pop icon of tomorrow

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — In the first few minutes on the phone with The Associated Press, Chappell Roan shared a revealing fact about herself. “I have a ‘princess’ tramp stamp, that was my first tattoo,” the 25-year-old pop singer laughed. “I feel like the pendulum has just swung so far because of how restricted I felt.” Roan’s glittery, innuendo-stuffed debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” was released Sept. 22. And the cliche of “small town girl goes to big city to make it big.” But involved in that is self-exploration and freedom and finding a community that she didn’t have before. AP: There’s an old cliche with debut records — that you have your whole life to write it, which makes the next one a bit daunting.
