Chappell Roan might be a midwest princess, but Mexico City just stole her heart. In a new post on Instagram, the pop star reflected on headlining the Corona Capital festival over the weekend and revealed that — despite feeling anxious ahead of the show — the city welcomed her with open arms.
Sharing photos of her creepy “screaming banshee” getup for her set, Roan wrote on Monday (Nov. 17), “I was quite nervous for mexico city because I wasn’t sure if the crowd would vibe with me.”
The Missouri native went on to explain that she worried she’d stick out “because it’s such a rock leaning festival and I was like will ppl still like me if I’m pop?”
“but omg the crowd was so wonderful and I felt so loved and supported!” Roan added. “So so sick I got to do this thank you for having me … l will continue practicing my Spanish every day. ¡Gracias!”
Roan was indeed the most pop-leaning headliner on the 2025 lineup, splitting the bill with Foo Fighters and Linkin Park. The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer’s set was on Saturday (Nov. 17) following performances from Vampire Weekend, Damiano David, Alabama Shakes and more.
With Corona Capital in the books, Roan now has until February before she’s scheduled to perform again. After playing a string of festival dates in Australia that month, she’ll headline Lollapalooza Brasil and Lollapalooza Chile in March.
Also in February, fans will most likely see Roan attend the 2026 Grammys. As revealed earlier in November, the musician — who won best new artist the year prior — is up for two awards, with Billboard Hot 100 top 10 single “The Subway” picking up nods for record of the year and best pop solo performance.
