Chappell Roan is canceling two festival appearances, citing being "unable to perform."
The "Hot to Go" singer announced she was canceling upcoming festival appearances in New York City and Maryland for the All Things Go music festival to "prioritize my health."
"I apologize to people who have been waiting to see me in NYC & DC this weekend at All Things Go, but I am unable to perform. Things have gotten overwhelming over the past few weeks and I am really feeling it," the singer wrote on her Instagram story Friday. "I feel pressures to prioritize a lot of things right now and I need a few days to prioritize my health. I want to be present when I perform and give the best shows possible. Thank you for understanding. Be back soon xox."
The festival, which takes place Saturday and Sunday, shared a screenshot of the story with the caption: "We support you Chappell Roan ❤️"
Roan has experienced a sudden surge in popularity this year after the release of her 2023 album "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," her stint as an opening act on Olivia Rodrigo's Guts World Tour and festival spots at Coachella, Bonnaroo and a record-breaking Lollapalooza set last month.

The singer has been the subject of headlines about her political leanings this week, following an interview published in the Guardian last Friday.
"I don't feel pressured to endorse someone," Roan told the British news outlet. "There's problems on both sides. I encourage people to use your critical thinking skills, use your vote — vote small, vote for what's going on in your city."
Roan then took to social media to push back against backlash she faced for the comments, emphasizing that what she said was "being completely taken out of context" and that she's not voting for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
"I'm not settling for what has been offered," she said in a TikTok video shared Wednesday. "I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people and I will stand up for what’s right and what I believe in."
In another TikTok, Roan said though she's voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, she's not endorsing her.
"Endorsing and voting are completely different," she said.
The "Pink Pony Club" singer has previously used social media to both clarify her behavior and combat fan criticism. In a two-part TikTok in August, Roan called out abuse and harassment she said she has experienced from fans.
In the clips, Roan, 26, slammed people who feel "entitled" to a celebrity's time, saying she doesn't care if fans think it's "selfish" for her to say no to a photo or a hug.
"That's not normal," she said. "That's weird. It's weird how people think that you know a person just because you see them online or you listen to the art they make."
