The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer, who has been in the spotlight this year, recently discussed on the Comment Section podcast that she's begun feeling unsafe due to certain fan behaviors. This has prompted her to "pump the brakes" on her rise to fame.
"People have started to be freaks—like, [they] follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works. All this weird shit," Roan told host Drew Afualo. "This is the time when a few years ago when I said that if [there were] stalker vibes or my family was in danger, I would quit. And we're there. We're there!"
The "Hot To Go!" artist gained fame after opening for Olivia Rodrigo on the Guts World Tour and delivering headline-making performances at Coachella and Governors Ball earlier this year. Her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, also broke into the top 10 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 chart.
"I’m just kind of in this battle… I’ve pumped the brakes on, honestly, anything to make me more known," Roan admitted. "It’s kind of a forest fire right now. I’m not trying to go do a bunch of shit."
It's not uncommon for celebrities to deal with unwanted behavior from fans. Taylor Swift, Keanu Reeves, Madonna, Rihanna, Jamie Dornan, and Drew Barrymore are just a few A-list stars who have had their own encounters with stalkers.
