Chappell Roan’s journey from ‘trailer park’ to self-proclaimed ‘Midwest Princess’
Fox News
Chappell Roan is ending her "The Midwest Princess Tour" tour this weekend. Her journey to pop superstardom took years in the making starting from her humble beginnings in a small Missouri town.
"But the Midwest remains a very big part of who I am. It's where I grew up, and I do love certain parts of it — the peace and growing up in a trailer park, four wheeling, the farm and bonfires." "I'm very grateful now looking back that I am from such a conservative Christian background, because I understand the communities there, and I understand where they're coming from."

In September 2023, Roan kicked off her 89-date tour in support of her debut album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," which was released the same month. At the time, Roan had amassed a cult following and devoted online fandom but was far from a household name.
However, the first few months of 2024 proved to be a turning point in the recording artist's career. Roan's star began to rise when she performed as one of the opening acts on Olivia Rodrigo's Guts tour from February to April.
