Chappell Roan Lets Down Her Hair for Rapunzel-Coded Video Shoot in New York City: See Photos
Chappell Roan is going from Midwest Princess to Princess Rapunzel.
As captured in photos and videos snapped on the streets of New York City this week, the pop star — who headlined Primavera Sound in Barcelona last month — is currently working on a mystery video project in which she’ll appear with yards of extra hair. In pictures taken Monday, she filmed scenes while standing on a fire escape, draping her super-long red tresses over the railing to the ground below.
In more photos that surfaced Tuesday (July 7), Roan — now wearing an oversize suit but still sporting the absurd extensions in her tresses — shoots a sequence in which a taxi cab appears to drag her by the hair through the street.
It’s unclear what exactly the Missouri native is working on, but fans online are convinced that it’s a music video for “The Subway,” an unreleased song that Roan debuted more than a year ago at 2024’s Gov Ball festival. She has since played it a number of times at her live performances.
The singer last dropped music in March, with the country-tinged single “The Giver” debuting at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It marked her first release since skyrocketing to fame (and a best new artist Grammy win) with breakthrough single “Good Luck, Babe!,” which followed her 2023 debut LP The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
