Just 3 days ago, rising pop sensation Chappell Roan achieved a major milestone, breaking Adele's record for the biggest album in a single week. Roan's debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," has now surpassed 3.5 million units sold.
To celebrate this achievement, Roan performed two sold-out shows at Pasadena's Brookside, her biggest headline gigs yet. During the performance, the 27-year-old singer reflected on her journey as a transplant to Los Angeles, sharing that she had a tough time adjusting to the city in her first five years. However, Roan expressed her deep love for L.A., particularly after witnessing the community's resilience during recent wildfires.

The singer took a moment to connect with the audience, encouraging them to forget about their worries and embrace the carefree spirit of their youth. Roan's heartfelt speech and genuine connection with the crowd highlighted her ability to captivate her fans and solidify her status as a rising star in the music industry.
