Chappell Roan, a rising star in the pop music world, had a revealing moment with her friend and fellow musician, Olivia Rodrigo. Despite being in the music industry for over a decade, Roan only found major fame in 2021 when her hit single “Pink Pony Club” went viral, a year after its release. Around the same time, Olivia Rodrigo’s career skyrocketed with her chart-topping single “Drivers License.”
Chappell Roan’s Fame Advice
As her popularity grew, Roan reached out to Rodrigo, curious about how to handle fame. According to an article from 2023, Roan asked Olivia, “When you were getting big, did you talk to Billie [Eilish]? What did you do?” Rodrigo’s response was humble and honest, admitting that even she didn’t have all the answers: “I’m sorry. No one has the answers.”

Roan expressed admiration for how Rodrigo stayed grounded despite her rapid rise to stardom. She highlighted Olivia’s ability to be “a normal person” in an otherwise extraordinary world. Roan admitted that she was still adapting to her newfound fame and didn’t feel “like a normal person” compared to Rodrigo.
Chappell Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, first signed with Atlantic Records in 2017. However, her journey took a turn when the label dropped her in 2020. Despite the setback, she continued to release music independently and eventually signed with Amusement Records/Island Records in 2023, a label founded by Grammy-winning producer Dan Nigro. Nigro, known for working with stars like Caroline Polachek and Olivia Rodrigo, has been a long-time collaborator with Roan, contributing to her evolving career.
This conversation with Rodrigo served as a reminder for Roan—and many aspiring artists—that fame doesn’t come with a guidebook. Instead, as Rodrigo pointed out, it’s about finding your way and staying true to yourself amid all the chaos.
