Chappell Roan Shares Heartfelt Moments of Queer Joy at L.A. Concert

## Chappell Roan’s Emotional Tour Finale

Chappell Roan concluded her three-city *Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Tour* in Los Angeles, performing to sold-out crowds, each night hosting nearly 30,000 fans. As she wrapped up the tour, she took a moment to share a heartfelt message about the significance of her performances, especially in bringing joy to the queer community.

### A Journey of Self-Discovery

“It wasn’t until the last moment that I decided to embark on a U.S. tour, and now I can’t believe I almost didn’t,” Roan expressed to the enthusiastic audience at the Brookside at the Rose Bowl. “This year, everything clicked for me: the reason I do this. Last year, I was overwhelmed with doubt and sadness. I often questioned my purpose, feeling isolated and awkward.”

Her realization struck as she continued, “Then I returned to the stage, and it became clear: my mission is to spread joy to queer individuals and reassure them that it’s okay to be themselves.”

### Reflecting on Joy and Acceptance

Roan reflected on her journey in Los Angeles, emphasizing the need to cherish peace and happiness amid the chaos in the world. “With so much negativity around us, it’s essential to hold onto joy. When you’re with us tonight, know that you are safe,” she shared. “Each of you is valued for who you are, whether you identify as queer or not.”

She concluded her moving address with gratitude, stating, “This is the largest headlining show I’ve ever had. Thank you all for your support and for being here together. My album, *Midwest Princess*, captures my experiences in this city, and I am forever grateful for it.”

As we celebrate her journey and the joy she brings, how do you find joy and connection in your own life?
