Chappell Roan caught in Troye Sivan and Connor Franta social media drama sparking fan reactions

Chappell Roan unexpectedly found herself at the center of renewed attention this week when Troye Sivan and Connor Franta exchanged subtly charged Instagram posts referencing an old photo.

Troye initiated the moment by sharing a throwback image featuring himself and Chappell Roan, notably cropping Connor Franta out. He later clarified in a cheeky comment, “FYI I found that pic online doing my weekly Google of ‘Troye Sivan and Chappell Roan’, not my crop!"

Not to be outdone, Connor responded in kind, posting his own version of the image with the caption “my good side”, a pointed nod to Troye’s emotionally charged 2018 song “The Good Side”, which many fans believe references their past relationship. 

Fan reaction intensified when Connor, during a 2024 appearance on the Obsessed with Brooke Averick podcast, revealed that the two discovered Chappell Roan’s music together in 2014 — a detail that reignited longstanding “Tronnor” shipping rumors and underscored Roan’s presence in the early YouTube community. 

Amid this playful digital back-and-forth, both Troye and Connor encouraged their audiences to check out Chappell Roan, praising her talent. Troye called her “vocally blessed,” likening her voice to Adele’s, while Connor added, “Give that vocally blessed goddess her well-deserved promo.”
