Overview

  • On July 8, 2025, Roan was spotted on a Manhattan fire escape draping yards of her real red hair down to street level for a music video shoot.
  • Photographs show a dramatic sequence in which a taxi cab appears to drag her by the hair along a city street.
  • Fans widely believe the video accompanies her unreleased song “The Subway,” which she first debuted at last year’s Governors Ball.
  • Roan paused new music videos after her August 2023 clip “Hot to Go” citing exhaustion from touring and studio struggles she calls “demoitis.”
  • The shoot marks her return to elaborate visual storytelling and underscores her focus on balancing artistic ambition with personal well-being.
