Pop star Chappell Roan is making waves again — and this time, she’s letting her hair do the talking. The “Good Luck, Babe!” hitmaker was spotted filming an over-the-top, Rapunzel-inspired video in New York City this week, sparking excitement among fans who are eagerly awaiting her next musical move.
A FAIRYTALE MOMENT ON THE FIRE ESCAPE
Photos captured Roan perched dramatically on a fire escape, letting yards of bright red hair cascade over the railing all the way down to the street below — a bold nod to the classic tale of Rapunzel. The whimsical shoot stopped onlookers in their tracks, as Roan fully leaned into the fantasy aesthetic, complete with flowing locks that looked straight out of a storybook.
FROM FIRE ESCAPE TO STREET DRAMA
In another set of photos taken the following day, Roan took the playful theme up a notch. Dressed in an oversized suit — but still sporting her gravity-defying hair extensions — she filmed a wild sequence in which a taxi appeared to drag her by her hair through the streets. The dramatic stunt quickly set social media abuzz, with fans speculating wildly about the project.
IS “THE SUBWAY” FINALLY COMING?
While details about the video remain tightly under wraps, many fans are convinced that it’s for Roan’s unreleased track, “The Subway,” a fan-favorite song she first debuted during her Gov Ball set back in 2024. She’s teased the song at various live shows since, leaving fans hopeful this dramatic new visual hints at an official release soon.
Roan last dropped new music in March with her country-leaning hit “The Giver,” which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 — her first single since her breakout year and Grammy win for Best New Artist.
Whatever this latest project may be, it’s clear that Chappell Roan isn’t afraid to mix high drama, humor, and bold visuals — and fans are here for every second of it.
