A Pop Star with Glitter, Grit, and Honesty

Chart-Topping Success of Chappell Roan
Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, recently made headlines again when she replaced herself at the top of the UK singles chart. Her new country-inspired single The Giver overtook her earlier hit Pink Pony Club, marking her successful entry into a new genre.
In an emotional Instagram post, the 27-year-old opened up about her love for country music:
“I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bonfires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.”
Despite her pop roots, Roan’s heartfelt connection to country music has resonated with fans and critics alike.
With a voice that blends glitter-pop spectacle and genuine emotion, Chappell Roan’s upcoming Edinburgh show promises to be a must-see event of the summer.
