Los Angeles, Nov 18 (NationPress) Singer-songwriter Chappell Roan was taken aback by the audience's reaction to her performance at a predominantly rock festival in Mexico City, expressing her genuine feelings of nervousness.
The artist behind the hit ‘Pink Pony Club’ shared with fans that she felt "quite nervous" before taking the stage at Corona Capital 2025, where she was the sole pop headliner, as reported by Female First UK.
Alongside bands like Foo Fighters and Linkin Park, the festival also featured acts such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Deftones, Garbage, and Weezer. Chappell was amazed by the positive energy from the crowd during her set.
Reflecting on the experience, Chappell shared on Instagram, "I was quite nervous for Mexico City because I wasn’t sure if the crowd would vibe with me since it’s such a rock-oriented festival and I was concerned if people would still appreciate my pop style? (sic)"
She added, "But oh my gosh, the crowd was incredibly supportive, and I felt so loved! It was surreal to perform there, and I’m committed to practicing my Spanish daily. Gracias! (sic)"
According to Female First UK, she posted several photos from her performance, showcasing her custom Alexander McQueen outfit dubbed the "screaming banshee" ensemble. The singer has faced a tough year, grappling with her mental health and recently revealed she initially hesitated to embark on a U.S. tour until she remembered her mission: to "bring joy to queer individuals and assure them that it’s perfectly fine to be who they are".
During her recent show in Pasadena, she candidly told her audience, "I almost skipped the U.S. tour until the very last moment, and I’m so pleased that I ultimately decided to go through with it. It’s been such a blast! Thank you for making this job so enjoyable. Everything clicked this year; I realized why I do this. Last year, I often questioned, ‘Why am I putting myself through this? I’m so sad and feel so out of place in public. Why endure this if it’s draining me?’"
She further expressed, "Then I began performing again, and it became clear that my purpose was to spread joy to queer folks and affirm that they are accepted. In a world filled with negativity, the only thing that matters to me now is joy. I prioritize nurturing that sense of peace and safety. I want you to feel secure and accepted here, to be your true self tonight."
Grateful for her dedicated fans, she stated, "You are valued for who you are. Even if you aren’t queer, I want you to know that you are included in this space. Thank you for being here, supporting me, and uplifting one another. This is the most significant headline show I’ve ever had. Thank you!"
