Chappell Roan is dragged by her very long HAIR in NYC... but all is not what it seems
Chappell Roan startled fans on Tuesday afternoon as she was seen being 'dragged' down the streets by a taxi cab after getting her hair caught in the car door. But the horrifying scene was all fiction as the Grammy-winning singer, 27, is currently shooting a wild new music video in New York City. Roan showed off her acting chops as she let out a dramatic scream for the cameras while pretending to be in peril. She rocked at least six feet of curly red hair extensions which were attached to the cab's right passenger side to make it look as though the door had accidentally shut on her hair. In between takes, the Pink Pony Club hitmaker — who recently showed off her 'normal' bikini body — was forced to lay down on the NYC asphalt as the crew worked around her. While it's yet to be announced which song the video is for, many of Roan's diehard fans speculate that it's for her long-awaited single 'The Subway.' Along with her dramatic, Rapunzel-inspired hair extensions, Roan also rocked a funky costume for Tuesday's video shoot. The petite singer modeled an oversized gray tweed suit, which was styled with a baggy white dress shirt and a striped blue necktie. Instead of her signature white face paint, Roan opted for a more natural makeup look as she rocked a matte mauve lip, defined brows and a soft smokey eye. Fans have been eager for new music from Roan since the release of her country track The Giver back in March. It was the highly-anticipated follow-up to her Grammy nominated hit Good Luck, Babe! which was released in February 2024. Her debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, premiered in 2023 and showed off Roan's affinity for drag aesthetic and punchy feminist lyrics. The album and the success of Good Luck, Babe! helped earn the Missouri-born star the Grammy Award for Best New Artist at the 2025 ceremony. But along with her successes, Roan has also faced her fair share of backlash since catapulting to superstardom less than two years ago. She rocked at least six feet of curly red hair extensions which were attached to the cab's right passenger side to make it look as though the door had accidentally shut on her hair While it's yet to be announced which song the video is for, many of Roan's diehard fans speculate that it's for her long-awaited single 'The Subway' Most recently, the singer ignited a generational divide when she said on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast: 'I don't know a single person who is happy and has children at this age.' Roan, who identifies as a lesbian, was asked by host Cooper if she would ever have children. She answered unequivocally: 'All of my friends who have kids are in hell. I don't know anyone who's happy and has children at this age.' The star reiterated, 'I have not met anyone who is happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, anyone who has slept [who has a child under five].' The remarks prompted a fiery debate online. Some moms insisted it 'was not an accurate or healthy message to peddle, particularly when the birth rate is down.' One person wrote: 'Chappell Roan going on Call Her Daddy saying none of her friends with kids are happy, is a prime example of why you cannot just vent to anyone.' Someone else wished, 'May the friendship of narcissistic childless women with no sense of loyalty ever find me.' Meanwhile, others related to Chappell's statements, with one person weighing in: 'The people who have made me most scared to become a mother are mothers. 'What Chappell said is all I see because lots of mothers I see are like, "This is miserable" and mothers can also be the most competitive, nasty and judgmental people.' Chappell also famously made headlines this past September for furiously snapping back at a red carpet photographer at the MTV Video Music Awards. The exchange began when a male photographer off-camera was heard apparently shouting that someone needed to 'turn.' At some point, a photographer was heard shouting: 'Shut the f*** up,' to which Chappell turned and bellowed back: 'YOU shut the f*** up!' She added: 'No! Not me, b****!' prompting whoops from some of the observers on the scene. 'Tell him, girl,' said one woman who was watching the encounter. Chappell was previously vocal about her exasperation over 'weird' fans making her 'uncomfortable' with their intrusive behavior - prompting a backlash from social media users who felt she was being ungrateful for her stardom. 'I don't care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous, whatever,' she said on TikTok last August. 'I don't care that it's normal. I don't care that this crazy type of behavior comes along with the job, the career field I've chosen.' Chappell continued: 'That does not make it okay that doesn't make it normal. That doesn't mean that I want it, that doesn't mean that I like it....' She defiantly declared she did not 'give a f***' about being regarded as 'selfish' for saying ''no for a photo or for your time or for a hug. That's not normal, that's weird.'

Chappell Roan has been spotted filming her new music video in New York City with Rapunzel-like hair, sparking speculations amongst fans that her new look it is for long anticipated unreleased track 'The Subway'. In newly surfaced photos and videos, the singer can be seen in two striking looks: One a grey oversized suit as she appears to be dragged by a yellow taxi down a New York street, with extensions for days… a red wig trailing behind her.

According to fans who witnessed the shoot, 'The Subway' was playing in the background, leading many to believe it is the subject of the video. 'The Subway' is an unreleased track Roan performed during The Midwest Princess Tour in 2023. The song has gained popularity online and features New York-themed lyrics, including comparisons to the Statue of Liberty and the city's subway system. The post-chorus includes the line: 'Yeah, I'm still counting down all of the days 'til you're just another girl on the subway.' Excited fans quickly took to the comments on the footage of Chappell, with one referencing the songs lyrics: 'Til I don't look for you on the staircase… wait' Another fan compared her new up-do look to RuPaul's Drag Race star Maddy Morphosis, commenting: 'She'll never be Maddy Morphosis,' referencing Maddy's 2024 Pit Stop appearance with Trixie Mattel. The track would mark Roan's first new single since 'The Giver', which was released in March 2025. Fans have also speculated that the video shoot may hint at the song's release date. A close-up of the taxi's license plate shows the code '8X22', which many believe could point to a release date of 22 August — a Friday, which is typically when new music drops. There is no official confirmation from Roan or her label regarding the track title or release date at this time.

Fans Theorize Chappell Roan Is Filming 'The Subway' Music Video
Could Chappell Roan's unreleased track, 'The Subway,' finally be on its way to an official drop? Fans certainly think so after the Grammy winner was spotted filming a mystery music video in New York City on July 7. According to fan-captured footage posted on social media, Chappell is serving big Rapunzel vibes with an extremely long version of her signature red locks as they hang down the side of a fire escape. And, in true Chappell fashion, she's seen wearing a bra and mini skirt made out of hair to match. While the audio of the original clip is covered up with her song 'Pink Pony Club,' lip readers think she might be singing a line from the new track: 'It's never over / 'Til I don't look for you on the staircase.' Members of the Pink Pony Club also pointed out that she's perched upon a fire escape with stairs trickling down the streets of New York, which could allude to those very lyrics. 'YOU HEARD THE SONG? IT WAS THE SUBWAY? 😭' one fan wrote on TikTok, in an attempt to confirm the news. The original poster simply responded with, 'Yes,' and added that she was filming right outside of Little Italy in Manhattan. She first debuted the song during her historic set at the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York in June 2024. Of course, she was decked out in drag inspired by the Statue of Liberty and wore a taxi-themed outfit in the spirit of the city. The song has quickly become a fan favorite despite not being officially released, as she has performed it during festivals like Lollapalooza and Primavera Sound. As for why we haven't gotten a studio recording of 'The Subway,' Chappell opened up about the process during an interview on Bowen Yang and Matt Rodgers' Las Culturistas in April. According to the artist, she struggled with laying down the track in a way that felt right. 'I've been banging my head against the wall with 'The Subway' can work live, certain things can work live, and they do not work in the studio,' she admitted. Based on these clips, we can only hope that she nailed the song. @ Chappell, we're ready to pre-save to our playlists!
