Chappell Roan is happy to be off social media
The 27-year-old singer revealed earlier this year that she has deleted social media platforms from her phone to protect herself from harmful comments and believes that it will benefit her on a personal and musical level.
Chappell told Vogue: "Socials harm the f*** out of me and my art. I'm not doing that to myself anymore.
"I've never written an album where I don't have Instagram or anything. The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it."
The Subway hitmaker's 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has become a sleeper hit over the past couple of years but Chappell warned fans that they could be waiting a long time for a follow-up record.
Chappell said: "The second project doesn't exist yet.
"It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five years to write the next. I'm not that type of writer than can pump it out."
The Pink Pony Club artist added: "I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything. I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio like 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster."
Roan has previously spoken of her discomfort at the recognition that comes with her musical success but currently feels as though she is in a good place as she prepares to play shows across the US later this year.
The star - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - said: "This pace is good right now. This feels good and manageable. I feel like, for the first time in over a year. I can finally be excited about going to work and doing my job."
Chappell admitted recently that criticism from trolls hurts her more than she lets on and has started to feel personal.
Asked if she cared about the backlash , the Hot To Go singer said in conversation with SZA for Interview Magazine: "I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art.
"When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.' That's when it changed."

Chappell Roan predicts five-year wait 'at least' for second album
Chappell Roan says fans will have "at least" a five-year wait for her second album. The 27-year-old singer has not begun work on her follow-up to 2023's viral hit The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess yet, and anticipates it taking her a fair amount of time to complete, because she can't just "pump it out". She told Vogue magazine: 'The second project doesn't exist yet. 'There is no album. There is no collection of songs.' She continued: 'It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next. I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out. 'I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything. I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster.' The Pink Pony Club hitmaker - who has since released the singles Good Luck, Babe!, The Giver and The Subway - also insisted social media will have no role in her art. She bemoaned: 'Socials harm the f*** out of me and my art. I'm not doing that to myself anymore. 'I've never written an album where I don't have Instagram or anything. The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it.' Chappell debuted her latest track, The Subway, at the 2024 Governors Ball, and it has since become a fan-favourite at her concerts, with her fans patiently waiting for the track to land on streaming platforms. The song was finally released on August 1, to fans' delight, but Chappell wasn't sure if she wanted to release it at all. She told Las Culturistas in April: "I've been banging my head against the wall with The Subway, because… some songs just work live — certain things work live — and they don't work in the studio. 'For The Subway, it's just going to feel different, and different doesn't always mean worse…You just have to really take yourself out of it and be like, 'This is different and that's okay.''

Jamie Lee Curtis tearfully praises Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson
Jamie Lee Curtis has tearfully praised the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. The Naked Gun stars are rumoured to have become romantically involved after meeting on the set of the film, and the Freakier Friday star has called for people to stop speculating about the pair but to just feel happy if they have found love with one another. She told VT in a clip shared to TikTok: 'With all due respect to pop culture, if love has found [its] way into that relationship - God bless them both - leave them the f*** alone. Let them like each other. 'Both of them have had hardship, and they're both beautiful human beings - makes me cry." She grew tearful as she added: "If they actually have found an intimate love with each other, we should all go to bed tonight feeling better.' Jamie thinks her Last Showgirl co-star and Liam - whose wife Natasha Richardson died in a skiing accident in 2009 - both deserve happiness. She said: 'She's a beautiful person. She was fantastic [in the movie], but she's a beautiful human being. 'He also suffered an unimaginable loss so young, and has had a really hard go of it. "So if, in fact, these people have hard launched, then wish them the best and leave them alone.' The Freakier Friday star's comments come after 73-year-old Liam's son Daniel expressed his approval over his dad's new relationship. The 28 year old was in the audience when the pair appeared on Watch What Happens Live over the weekend. Host Andy Cohen told the couple: 'The question that I'm not asking the two of you tonight is what's going on between the two of you, but I do just want to say, as a very old friend of [Liam's], all of your friends are very much stanning this relationship, as the kids say." As Liam put his hand on Pamela's shoulder and she reached to squeeze it, Andy then asked Daniel, who was sitting in the audience: "Right Danny?" Daniel replied: "Yes." On Friday (01.08.25), Pamela shared a series of photos of herself and Liam on Instagram along with the caption: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! "I'll see you there [white heart and popcorn emojis] (sic)" And Daniel commented with a string of emojis including hands up, fire, and white hearts. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also commented on the post with a string of red heart emojis. Liam - who has Micheal, 30, and Daniel with his late wife - previously confessed to being 'madly in love' with Pamela as he gushed about working with her. He told People magazine: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with.'

Ed Sheeran enlists Rupert Grint for another music video
Ed Sheeran has reunited with Rupert Grint for an "utterly bonkers" new music video. The 34-year-old singer previously enlisted the Harry Potter star to appear in the promo for his 2011 single Lego House and he's revealed they have made a sequel to accompany his new single A Little More. In the Lego House video, Rupert played Ed's lookalike and stalker, who is arrested after breaking into the singer's tour bus and attempting to impersonate him on stage. A teaser for A Little More seemingly sees him reprise the role, though it picks up from the stalker being released from prison. Ed shared a clip for the video - which will be released in full on Thursday (07.08.25) - on Instagram and wrote: '14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited. I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it. It's an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song. Think this one is gonna be a lot of people's fav song from Play. Out Thursday, watch out for more stuff coming x.(sic)" Rupert has previously claimed he often gets mistaken for his fellow redhead. Speaking in 2017, he said: "It's kind of 50/50 now. It's like if someone stops me, it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me." The same year, the 36-year-old actor released a spoof video in which he claimed the Galway Girl hitmaker is really his alter ego. In the clip, Rupert readied himself to sing before breaking off to admit: "The truth is, Ed isn't real!" Rupert then ripped open his blue plaid shirt - which has become synonymous with the real-life Ed - to reveal a Gryffindor top from the Harry Potter series. The flame-haired star explained: "My name is Rupert Grint. After Potter all I wanted to do was stretch myself ... create some real magic. "So I created a character. He had the voice of an angel ... and possible wispy facial hair, a guitar, a bunch of flannel. I call him Ed. Ed Sheeran. Such a weird name, right?" Rupert's on-stage antics are met with screams of denial from the watching audience. But the actor continued: "I didn't expect everyone to think he was real. He became my best achievement and bane of my existence." Then, the show's host asks Rupert: "Was anything real? The adorable klutziness, cat photos?" And the British actor responds: "I hate cats! I can't balance it anymore. Ed is no more!"
