Chappell Roan recently shared in a Vogue interview that her second album is still in the conceptual phase and may take up to five years to complete, similar to the timeline of her debut album.

Despite the wait for new album material, Roan has been active in the music scene, recently releasing three singles, including 'The Subway,' which has quickly become a fan favorite.

The music video for 'The Subway' has gained significant traction, amassing nearly 4.5 million views within just two days of its release.

This single, released on August 1, 2025, reached No. 1 on the iTunes chart, showcasing Roan's continued popularity.

Roan is set to host a series of pop-up shows titled 'Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things' in cities like New York and Kansas City, with profits directed toward supporting trans youth.

These performances will take place in September and October 2025, as she engages with fans while she prepares for her next album.

In addition to her U.S. shows, Roan is currently touring European festivals and has scheduled multiple performances, including four nights at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City.

Roan expressed a renewed excitement about her work, stating that for the first time in over a year, she feels optimistic about her creative process.

She has openly discussed her struggles with mental health, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing her well-being over industry pressures.

To maintain her mental health and creativity, Roan has distanced herself from social media, believing it negatively impacts her artistic process.

As she takes her time with her music, Roan contrasts her approach with other artists who rapidly release albums, reinforcing her commitment to quality over quantity.

While she is actively writing new material, including a variety of genres, Roan clarified that these efforts do not yet signify a completed album.
