Chappell Roan says she doesn’t have social media on her phone.
The “Pink Pony Club” and “Hot to Go!” singer shared that the negativity around online comments and posts have led her to avoid social media at times.
“It is very … disheartening sometimes to really go into the comment section,” she said. “So I currently don’t have social media on my phone and I think that I just delete it when it becomes too much and keep it moving, to just keep doing the work, show up. Because at the end of the day, no matter what anyone says about me online or in person, it’s not gonna stop people like Elton [John] and I donating money, donating time, writing about things that matter to us.”
Roan made her comments during a conversation with John that was part of the inaugural Elton John Impact Awards, which honored Roan and other trailblazing LGBTQ+ community members and prominent allies.
She shared that it’s challenging as an artist to distance oneself from social media since that’s such a big part of building and sustaining a career in the industry.
