Chappell Roan Says Mexico City Crowd Warmed to Her After Pre-Show Nerves at Corona Capital

The pop singer says a rock-leaning festival crowd in Mexico City embraced her after pre-show jitters.

Overview

  • On Nov. 15, Roan closed her Visions of Damsels and Other Dangerous Things Tour by headlining Corona Capital at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
  • In a Nov. 17 social post, she said she was "quite nervous" the rock-leaning audience might not "vibe" with her pop set.
  • She later wrote that the crowd was "so wonderful" and that she "felt so loved and supported" after the performance.
  • Roan performed in a custom Alexander McQueen "screaming banshee" look, which Vogue’s Genesis Webb linked to early-20th-century brassieres and 18th-century medical corsets and braces.
  • She is next slated for Australian festivals in February before Lollapalooza Brasil and Chile in March, as she carries two Grammy nominations for "The Subway" and a prior Best New Artist win.
