Chappell Roan Wants to 'Chill for a Sec' Before Diving Into Her Next Album
She's been killing it on tour, headlining music fests like Primavera Sound and Reading & Leeds Festivals. But, aside from being on the road, the 'Pink Pony Club' hitmaker shared that she was displaced to Altadena during the L.A. wildfires earlier this year and has had trouble settling into a new space after living in Airbnbs for seven months.
'I want to write music whenever I feel settled. I haven't felt settled,' she admitted. 'It's been a very unsettling year and a half, and I think once I really feel calm in a new house and have a routine...then I can think about writing a song once I have a routine.'
As for what that routine entails? The Midwest Princess said that it's as 'basic' as waking up in the same place, making the same meals, and wearing the same slippers. 'That's just not a thing right now, and it hasn't been for a very long time,' she said, in part. 'And then I came on this big tour. So it's been a journey on...how do I release music within the state of everything?'
While she's 'far done from touring,' Chappell shared that 'it'll definitely feel like a big breath of weight off [her] shoulders' when she wraps up her 'victory lap' of shows next April. She hopes she'll be able to 'chill for a sec and actually think about writing.'
As we patiently wait for her return to the recording studio, she shared that her latest single is a 'safe segue' into her upcoming era.
'I think it's a good rung on the ladder,' she shared on the platform's New Music Daily radio show. 'Midwest Princess is her, but even though this next era, I don't really know what it is, but 'Subway' is a very safe segue to it. But I just think that 'The Giver,' 'Good Luck, Babe,' 'The Subway,' they're all kind of so different, so that's why I'm just like, 'I have no idea what the next era is.''
She also spoke to the pressures of following up her breakout debut album and why she fears fans won't be as interested in new material.
'That's the scary part of putting out new music and then people not liking it because it's not like the music you made before, and so it makes you scared to release stuff. Because you're like, 'Well, people aren't ever going to like it as much as the first one' and that's the risk you take every single time,' she explained.
Chappell revealed that she hasn't even started writing CR2 during a conversation with Vogue earlier this month. 'There is no album. There is no collection of songs,' she told the publication. 'It took me five years to write the first one, and it's probably going to take at least five to write the next.'
She added, 'I'm not that type of writer that can pump it out. I don't think I make good music whenever I force myself to do anything.'

Taylor Swift revealed that she moved in with her dad, Scott Swift, for the summer as he recovered from a 'really intense' major heart surgery. The 14-time Grammy winner, 35, shared an update on her dad's health after he underwent a quintuple bypass procedure months ago. 'So, it it all happened really quick,' Swift, 35, said on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' podcast. 5 Taylor Swift revealed that she moved in with her dad, Scott Swift, for the summer as he recovered from a 'really intense' major heart surgery. The 'Cruel Summer' singer revealed that her father, 73, had a 'perfect EKG' every time he underwent annual physicals, so news of the procedure came as a shock. After undergoing a a cardiac stress test, doctors discovered five blockages in Scott's heart. 'So, he's been telling all his friends, 'you need to get the stress test because that's what's actually preventative.' If you can find that earlier, you don't have to have a bypass surgery,' the 'Fortnight' hitmaker said. 'You can sort out those blockages with stents and things that are a lot less invasive.' The pop star's rep confirmed last month that her mom, Andrea, 67, and brother, Austin, 33, were by Scott's side at the hospital during the procedure. 5 The 14-time Grammy winner, 35, shared an update on her dad's health after he underwent quintuple bypass procedure months ago. taylorswift/Instagram Speaking about her dad's 'interesting summer,' Swift revealed that her dad initially assumed she was too 'busy' to come down for the surgery. The 'Blank Space' singer immediately got on a flight and met up with her family at the hospital, and later even moved in with her dad to ensure a smooth recovery process. 'He said something about like when a cat is injured, it curls up around a tree and heals itself. I was like, 'Dad, cats don't have quintuple bypass,'' she recalled. 5 The 'Cruel Summer' singer revealed that her father, 73, had a 'perfect EKG' every time he underwent annual physicals.

'He did like a comedy act, a comedy set for 15 minutes. He was the funniest he's ever been, and he's usually really funny.' When Taylor informed her dad that doctors had discovered and cleared five blockages, Scott's reaction proved that he was feeling back to his usual self. 5 The pop star's rep confirmed last month that her mom, Andrea, 67, and brother, Austin, 33, were by Scott's side at the hospital during the procedure. @ New Heights/YouTube 'What can I say? I come from a fiercely competitive family,' he quipped. 'And it was kind of wild because it was like, very parent-child reversal in a lot of ways. My brother and my mom and I were each taking shifts in the ICU and staying with him 24/7,' the singer went on. 'He came out of surgery, tried to give guitar picks to all the nurses and doctors, but he wasn't wearing pants, didn't have pockets, hospital gown, you know?'

‘The Notebook' Star Gena Rowlands' ‘Legendary' Hollywood Retreat Lists for $5 Million—One Year After Her Death
A glittering Hollywood Hills retreat that served as the home of legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes and "The Notebook" star Gena Rowlands for decades has been put on the market for the first time in more than 60 years. The "legendary" dwelling, which is located "in the heart of the Hollywood Hills' prestigious 'Celebrity Row,'" spreads across 4,300 square feet and provided a "sanctuary" for the stars during the height of their fame. Rowlands, who died in August 2024 at the age of 94, and Cassavetes, who died in 1989, raised all three of their children in the sprawling property, which they also used as a set for some of their most famous films, including "Faces," "Minnie and Moskowitz," "Opening Night," and "Love Streams." Today, the home remains a tribute to their illustrious careers, with listing images capturing walls filled with movie posters, behind-the-scenes stills, and dozens of photos of the couple spending time with their celebrity pals. "The property was not just a home but also a creative hub, where films were made, memories were created, and a generation of filmmakers was inspired," the home's description notes—honoring the lasting careers of the couple's children, Nick, Xan, and Zoe, all of whom followed their parents' footsteps into the movie business. After Rowlands' death, the property was passed into a trust in her name—having been in the family for 63 years, with the actress holding on to the abode even after marrying her second husband, Robert Forrest, in 2012. Nestled in the heart of the Hollywood Hills, the home is located on 1 acre of land that includes "one buildable lot, offering rare future potential in this coveted location," the listing, which is held by Kate Blackwood and Kristal Moffett of Compass, notes. "A long, tree-lined approach leads to a classic traditional home with elegant Hollywood Regency details, gracious scale, and abundant natural light," it continues. The home remains in much the same condition that it was in when Rowlands died, with many of its original architectural details intact, "including a one-of-a-kind hand-painted bathroom artistic centerpiece created by a family member." The home features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, as well as several picturesque living spaces, including a cozy bar that is littered with photographs taken throughout Cassavetes' and Rowlands' careers. A wood-paneled living space, complete with a fireplace, doubles as a relaxation area and a library, with one wall dedicated to built-in bookshelves. The kitchen, which boasts elegant black-and-white tile flooring, features a darling breakfast nook where families can gather for a meal—or they can head to the sunroom, which has its own space for relaxing. For more formal occasions, there is an opulent dining room that serves as the perfect space for larger gatherings. When you head upstairs, past the wallpapered staircase, you are greeted with a primary bedroom that is flooded with natural light and also boasts a fireplace for added coziness. A small entertainment room with funky green walls completes the second story in true style. "This was not only a home, but a creative sanctuary where films such as 'Faces,' 'A Woman Under the Influence,' 'Minnie and Moskowitz,' and 'Love Streams' were conceived, edited, and in part filmed, contributing to the legacy of American independent cinema," the listing shares. "A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an authentic piece of Hollywood history." While the dwelling regularly served as a movie set for the couple, Cassavetes once remarked that they worked hard to separate their professional and personal lives, saying: "When Gena and I are home together, we're husband and wife. "On the set, we're deadly combatants. We have great respect for each other, like enemies do." Rowlands echoed those statements in a 1984 interview with People, telling the outlet: "John and I probably disagree on just about everything in the world. "But that's what marriage is all about. If you think a marriage isn't going to be like that, you've got trouble." She later admitted that she had never planned to get married—telling T Magazine that her only ambition in life had been to act. "The one thing I never wanted to do was to fall in love or get married or have children. I wanted to act," she revealed, while adding that her relationship with Cassavetes was one of life's "little surprises." Still, their yearslong collaboration on camera is remembered as one of Hollywood's most legendary partnerships, with the duo working together on 10 films, while each appearing in many more during their careers. Rowlands carried on that tradition of making movies a family business when she teamed up with her son, Nick, on the hit 2004 film "The Notebook," which he directed. His actress mother, meanwhile, starred in the heart-wrenching project as an ailing woman suffering from dementia—a storyline that was made all the more poignant after Rowlands' family revealed that she herself had been struggling with dementia in the five years before her death. In addition to her Hollywood Hills home, the actress also owned a property in Indian Wells, CA, where she died, surrounded by family members.
