Chappell Roan has had a phenomenal year - from sell-out gigs and a Coachella performance, to six Grammy Award nominations. However, as her popularity has exploded, the singer has been criticised for the way in which she sets professional boundaries; she went viral for shutting down a photographer on the VMAs red carpet, she called out 'predatory superfan' behaviour in a lengthy social media video, and has cancelled performances to protect her health.
While many have applauded her approach to fame, Chappell has faced backlash for her reluctance to adhere to the traditional celebrity structure. In an interview with Harpers Bazaar, Miley Cyrus addressed the Pink Pony Club singer's rise to fame, and shared that she contacted Chappell to offer her support. Miley said: "I wish people would not give her a hard time. It's probably really hard coming into this business with phones and Instagram. That wasn’t always a part of my life, and I’m not a part of it now. I don’t even have my Instagram password."
