Chappell Roan calls world 'such a difficult' place: 'I feel very hopeless'

Chappell Roan recently reflected on her decision to detach herself from social media.

On Monday, June 1, the 28-year-old American singer-songwriter appeared on the P&G and iHeartRadio's Elton John Impact Awards podcast, where she was asked about social media and its impact on her life, especially considering the fact that she is a renowned celebrity.

Roan said, "It's very... disheartening sometimes to really go into the comment section," revealing that she currently does not "have social media on my phone."

She went on to share, "I just delete it when it becomes too much and keep it moving. Because at the end of the day, no matter what anyone says about me online or in person, it's not gonna stop people like Elton [John] and I [from] donating money, donating time, writing about things that matter to us."

The Guilty Pleasure songstress admitted that detaching yourself from social media to become a “good person” is not easy and it gets more difficult when you are an artist, whose relevance depends largely on digital platforms.

Roan explained, "It's such a difficult world to navigate that personally, if I just delete it and keep it moving, I kind of make it out of that hurricane.”

“But that's hard for a lot of artists because, if you really rely on social media to fuel your momentum, that can be really disheartening and it can feel very hopeless."

"I'm in a very privileged position where I can be like, 'I'm not gonna be on this and I'll be fine.' But not everyone is like that,” Chappell Roan concluded.
