Pop Star Chappell Roan's Sold-Out Tour Celebrates Queer Joy

On October 8, 2025, pop artist Chappell Roan concluded her three-city "Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things" tour with two sold-out shows in Los Angeles. Roan welcomed nearly 30,000 fans each night, marking her biggest crowds yet.

As Roan closed out the tour, she took a moment to deliver a heartfelt speech about her love for performing and the importance of bringing joy to her queer fans. Roan revealed that she had initially been hesitant to embark on a U.S. tour, but ultimately decided to do so, and is now grateful for the experience. She shared that last year, she had been questioning her career, feeling sad and left out, but reconnecting with her fans through live shows has reminded her of the purpose behind her work.

Roan reminisced on the significance of Los Angeles in her personal journey, noting that the city and its community have been integral to her growth and self-discovery. She emphasized the need to protect joy, peace, and safety, especially in these trying times, and assured her fans that they are cherished and welcome to be their authentic selves at her shows.

Roan's powerful speech and the success of her tour have solidified her status as a rising pop queen, with a Rolling Stone review describing her New York City concert as "a dazzling victory lap" and "a communal dance-crazed celebration for her fans."
