Chappell Roan feels happier without social media

Chappell told Vogue: "Socials harm the f*** out of me and my art. I'm not doing that to myself anymore.

"I've never written an album where I don't have Instagram or anything. The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it."

The Subway hitmaker's 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess has become a sleeper hit over the past couple of years but Chappell warned fans that they could be waiting a long time for a follow-up record.

Chappell said: "The second project doesn't exist yet.

"It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five years to write the next. I'm not that type of writer than can pump it out."

The Pink Pony Club artist added: "I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything. I see some comments sometimes, like, 'She's everywhere except that damn studio.' Even if I was in the studio like 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster."

Roan has previously spoken of her discomfort at the recognition that comes with her musical success but currently feels as though she is in a good place as she prepares to play shows across the US later this year.

The star - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - said: "This pace is good right now. This feels good and manageable. I feel like, for the first time in over a year. I can finally be excited about going to work and doing my job."

Chappell admitted recently that criticism from trolls hurts her more than she lets on and has started to feel personal.

Asked if she cared about the backlash, the Hot To Go singer said in conversation with SZA for Interview Magazine: "I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art.

"When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make.' That's when it changed."
