In a recent interview with The Face, pop star Chappell Roan shared how Lorde has been a vital support system as she navigates the pressures of stardom. Roan, who has experienced a rapid rise in fame following her viral performances and hit songs, described how Lorde offered her specific advice during a difficult moment. Roan recounted a particularly stressful incident at the airport, where she was harassed by individuals seeking autographs. Overwhelmed by the experience, she texted Lorde for guidance. “She sent me a list of things I should do [in that situation],” Roan revealed. “Literally wrote down eight things she wished someone would have told her when she was going through it.”

Roan expressed her admiration for Lorde, noting that Lorde had endured similar struggles at a young age, referring to her experience as “going through hell.” Roan added that Lorde’s advice has been invaluable in helping her deal with the invasive side of fame, stating, "Lorde was a baby when she went through it, and her insights have helped me stay grounded."

As Roan continues her ascent in the music industry, her connection with fellow artists like Lorde has proven essential in coping with the pressures of superstardom.
