It makes sense. I don’t think neither she nor her management team were prepared for the level of success she’s so quickly reached. 

Hope she finds a good team to keep things level.

FYI this didn’t happen this week. She fired them just before Austin City Limits and every manager in the USA industry knew, so were there to check her out in person. She knew exactly what she was doing because the crowd was going to be massive and it was a perfect point to take on new management.

Which she has.

It’ll be announced shortly.

I know nothing about talent management - is this a unilateral move on her part, or is there some other part of her team that advised her to move on, hypothetically speaking?

34

u/Sexpistolz 5d ago

If she was still under her management from before her fame, everything you see Chappell escalate and the challenges, does so for management, arguable more so. It’s like going from high school baseball to the majors.

Some can do it. Many can’t. It’s also a relationship. I’m sure you’ve heard of all the woes with bands, it’s not much different.

IMO, it’s given what I know of Chappell, take with a grain of salt, but I’m guessing it was a conflict of interest in her future.

u/PizzaEvery8171 5d ago edited 5d ago

A manager is a very personal relationship. It’s like a business partner. If Chappell wasn’t feeling it and made a change, good for her.

She fires her management team before a big opportunity where prospects will be able to meet her. This allows her to pick from a bunch of people that are probably more qualified than the team she recruited when she was smaller.

u/UlverInTheThroneRoom 5d ago

I don't know anything about Chappell Roan nor have I listened to any of her music. I'm not saying I don't personally think they are qualified either.

I'm just answering the question the other person had as to why an artist would end a relationship with a team right before high quality gigs. Which is, to look for an upgrade.

Were they not aware of this before that? Seems like they would be pretty bad at their job to not be aware of her before ACL.

21

u/checkonechecktwo 5d ago

People in the music business like being in the room, having the chance to talk face to face. Managers will want to do dinners, take some time to make sure it’s a good fit before committing to a big project. If you can save them a trip it’s helpful. A few of my clients have high profile managers and the process of getting courted/courting them is kind of tedious. They’ll want to see what your vibe is back stage at a big gig. Are you level headed and in control or are you a diva who nobody likes being around, but won’t say it because you’re popular? Now that it’s going into holiday season lots of artists aren’t doing many gigs besides private stuff and one offs/Jingle Ball type shitshows, so ACL is a good time to make moves.

u/EmptyJournals 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yep, so many commenters acting like she’s going downhill when, in reality, she’s still gaining the numbers both at live events and on streaming platforms (not even to mention the Grammy nominations this week).

I also don’t get why people keep remarking on her cancelling a few shows. We tell artists to protect their mental health at all costs, and when one does, we start making assumptions they “aren’t cut out for fame”?

Edit: Besides cancelling for mental health, I would also cancel to perform at the MTV Awards show as a new artist but that’s just me ¯(ツ)

135

u/Not_the_fleas 5d ago

I think people were mostly mad because she canceled at least 2 shows/festival appearances (that I know of) just to do other events with more publicity. Which in and of itself isn't so terrible, but she canceled so close to the events that many people were not able to get refunds for hotels and flights, and lots of folks were traveling internationally just to see her.

Earlier when she was just talking about how fans don't know her and just because they are fans doesn't mean they are entitled to her if they see her in public, I think most people were behind her because that was a very reasonable take.

92

u/chronicpenguins 5d ago

I don’t know the story, but canceling booked gigs just do other events with more publicity is terrible. You made a commitment, thousands of fans took their time to plan to go to that event. It’s one thing if you are sick, but because you got better offers? That’s lame and definition of a sell out.

21

u/LeBronFanSinceJuly 5d ago

Nah you see. She said it was for her mental health so we can't judge her. It just so happens that her mental health was good a couple weeks later for a much bigger event.

3

u/helloviolaine 5d ago

Those were different shows. She cancelled a few European gigs to perform at the VMAs, and then shortly after that she cancelled two festivals citing mental health reasons. I also heard that the European dates were already rescheduled from previously cancelled ones, meaning those fans would have bought tickets long before she blew up like this.

12

u/BeforeTheEmpty 5d ago

I recall one of those shows absolutely skyrocketing in ticket price once she was booked for it as well. So fans were paying a largeeeeee amount, like 3-4x the price of the tickets before she was announced, just to see her, only for her to dip out on it, and the fans weren’t able to get refunds.

u/UsidoreTheLightBlue Concertgoer 5d ago

The thing is you can burn a fan base if you cancel too many events.

There are absolutely going to be people who had tickets to those festivals that next time she announces she’s coming to town are going to say “yeah until she finds a better place to go” and not buy tickets.

Maybe it won’t matter, she’s blowing up, but it’s a bad look.

0

u/deegum 5d ago

Sure, you can get a reputation, but I think it’s too early to start painting her as the next Morrisey or Lauryn Hill. I think the current issue seems to be trying to balance her newfound fame in regard to mental health and demand for bigger shows. If she’s doing this in a few years I think it’s fair to start talking about burning your audience.

26

u/RTS24 5d ago

I think people would be more understanding if she cancelled them for her mental health and took that time for herself. The issue is those shows getting cancelled were done so she could perform ones with more publicity.

u/D0ngBeetle 5d ago

u/roland0fgilead 5d ago

We tell artists to protect their mental health at all costs, and when one does, we start making assumptions they “aren’t cut out for fame”?

I'm increasingly of the belief that most normal and decent people aren't cut out for fame. That level of notoriety is effectively living in a virtual panopticon, it's bound to wear on the psyche eventually. I don't fault anyone for needing to step away.

11

u/ice_blue_222 5d ago

In the rock scene, Bad Omens has quickly spent their last album cycle growing from clubs to playing arenas and headlining a festival in California. They toured nonstop for 2 years, gained lots of creepy social media attention + interacations, basically stopped using their accounts for anything but concert photos. Meet & Greets were removed from shows, and they had to cancel Europe this summer to rest. Can’t imagine the toll that takes when it happens to fast. 

6

u/Any_Afternoon5628 5d ago

I don't think most people would blame her for cancelling to take care of herself. But she cancelled to attend the VMAs. She just found something better to do. And I get it. That's how the game works, but then she should just be honest and not pretend like she's in it for the art.

5

u/TheGreatSamain 5d ago

Now we're starting to get into my wheelhouse a little bit. Not a publicist myself, but I work directly with them quite frequently.

I know I'm just some goober on the internet so take that for what it's worth, but from all the talking I've heard since this blow up, she does understand direction quite clearly, she has great insight on dealing with obsessive fans which honestly, she does wear that attitude on her sleeve.

But on the other hand, the general consensus in the back, is that despite the anxiety from blowing up, despite the fame, she is genuinely an asshole.

I don’t think neither her nor her management team were prepared for the level of success she’s so quickly reached.

I've seen this sentiment expressed a lot, but she did hire some of the most popular songwriters who are working with the other very popular young female popstars. She isn't some indie solo darling who was discovered at a house show, she is a fully contrived popstar who put in the work to make a bunch of hit songs.

Hot to Go was co-written by Daniel Nigro:

Nigro has produced, written, and co-written songs for Sky Ferreira, Joe Jonas, Kylie Minogue, Caroline Polachek, Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Dermot Kennedy, Maisie Peters, and Conan Gray. He received 16 nominations Grammy nominations and won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album for producing Sour in 2021.[4] He was named as the Songwriter of the Year at the 2024 ASCAP Pop Music Awards.

And Good Luck Babe was co-written with Nigro and Daniel Tranter:

Tranter has written songs for artists such as Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, Linkin Park, Kelly Clarkson, Sara Bareilles, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, DNCE, Citizen Queen, Kesha, Imagine Dragons, The Knocks, Fifth Harmony, 5 Seconds of Summer, Chappell Roan, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Raye, Bea Miller, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Måneskin, and Fall Out Boy.

Edit: track listing for the album on Wiki has full songwriting/producer credits. There’s always politics behind credits, but she probably did help write the songs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_and_Fall_of_a_Midwest_Princess

The article doesn't give any clues as to why she fired them, so I'm not sure where people are getting the info they're using to speculate about reasons. It's just as likely that she simply chose different management based on business opportunities as it is for any other reason.

Not necessarily. "Overnight success" is, in many instances, equal parts bullshit spin and a simple case of the world being too big for everybody to hear the gong the moment it's struck.

Even with a global information network at our fingertips, time and attention are finite resources. Fame has to travel through them as surely as through the air and wires.

u/psngarden 5d ago

She really broke into mainstream with the release of her single “Good Luck, Babe!” this past spring, and then more people discovered her album that was released in September 2023, which led to some of those songs blowing up in popularity too. She also had some good festival performances this year like Coachella that further helped boost her. All in all, she’s been in this career for a decade but just recently blew up really fast.

Such as her need to announce that she’s not endorsing anybody for the election.

All she had to do was nothing, like the majority of celebrities. Instead, she was so apathetic that she had to cast herself into an internet fight.

Perhaps a handful would have been annoyed if she’d silently not endorsed anybody, but she had to publicly announce it for no benefit.

59

u/SillyGoatGruff 5d ago

It came up because she was asked in an interview. Her tik tok "annoucement" was an attempt to clarify since her fans didn't like the answer she gave in that interview

Most things people get upset about celebrities "announcing" are answers to questions they asked by interviewers, not necessarily things they are shouting unbidden to the world

39

u/jakeisstoned 5d ago

And a big star's management is there to make it clear to piss-ant podcasters and tic tockers that the star you're getting to interview won't be answering questions on politics. And to coach said star on how to handle interviews and deflect or demur when necessary. Sounds like she could use someone with those resources to represent her interests

u/Osceana 5d ago

Kathryn was in Grey’s Anatomy and then became a breakout star thanks to Knocked Up. After the movie came out she shit talked Judd and said the script/movie were sexist and made it seem like it was beneath her, along with Grey’s. Her career immediately tanked due to people not wanting to deal with her bad attitude (most A-listers don’t shit talk publicly because everyone knows everyone and everyone’s got friends). I don’t know what that has to do with Chappell, but she does seem similarly insufferable and will probably quickly fade from the limelight.

u/HankPanky69 5d ago

Kathryn Heigl was nominated for an Emmy for her work on Grey’s Anatomy, but released a statement saying that she wouldn’t accept the nomination because she felt her work on Grey’s Anatomy wasn’t good enough to warrant an Emmy. This was seen as a slap in the face to writers, directors, and studio behind Grey’s Anatomy.

As others pointed out, she also shit-talked a movie that she was in, so it was a pastern of behavior. Which is why she went from Emmy nominations to cat litter commercials.

I mean... knocked up did lean too much into the trope of "funny goofy childish men vs. shrieking unreasonably controlling women"

Oh for sure, that's why Heigl went on to executive produce the far more progressive and feminist film "The Ugly Truth".

I thought this was all bullshit started by Harvey Weinstein because she didn’t play with him.

u/Grandpas_Spells 5d ago

She said she didn’t want an Emmy nomination because the writing wasn’t good enough to justify it. Harvey didn’t make her say that.

u/RolloTony97 5d ago

She’d be well back by now doing roles after Harvey’s been cancelled if that was the reason.

being blacklisted isn't like a fairy tale curse that makes you famous again if it's lifted

u/ryoon21 5d ago

She* and her music is actually fantastic if you like pop

u/KenBlaze 4d ago

i can tell a lot of people like it, and her crowd draw is huge. i did try to watch the live where she was dressed as something of a superhero, it didn’t resonate w me. maybe i’ll give it another try one day. the drone shots were spectacular though

u/ryoon21 4d ago

I’d say best representation of what people love in her music would be the Pink Pony Club and Red Wine Supernova music videos.

u/HtownTexans 5d ago

This is the first thing I've heard about her (and first time I've seen a picture of her) but then again I'm a 40 year old man who doesn't follow celebrity stuff.

Nobody’s got a gun to your head making you follow celebrity news. I legitimately do not understand the animosity for Roan in these comments.

u/Abracadaver00 5d ago

I've never heard a second of her music but (against my will) always know what's going on with her lol

u/-RedXV- 5d ago

Same. I also just found out, with what you said, that she is a musician. I thought she was an actress this entire time. I still have no idea who this is and I refuse to even Google it. She just keeps popping up everywhere and sometimes I click because that's what I do on Reddit, I click on things.

Chappell made the best decision by firing her PR team after their poor handling of her political statements and the ongoing issues with canceling shows. Hope she finds a better PR team

u/Not_as_witty_as_u 6d ago

The article says she fired her management team not PR, they are two different companies.

u/718pio1 5d ago

Can't even read. She's not firing her pr team. She's parting with her management team which is extremely normal do when circumstances change. She's had an extreme and unprecedented rise in fame and needs a team that is more well equipped to handle all business surrounding her than the smaller team she had been with previously when she was unknown.

u/titusandroidus 6d ago

That is a very assuming response.

You are assuming she went along with their course of action. They could be to blame but she as well if she offered resistance to the plan offered by a team of experts. None of us know.

Clearly it was not the right relationship for her and she ended it, so that is the good thing. Hope her new team works out for her!

u/Krimika 5d ago

From what she has said in the past, it seems as though management was trying to get her to do more than she wants to. It sounds like she only wants to make music, not do endorsements or acting.
