Chappell Roan caught in Troye Sivan and Connor Franta social media drama sparking fan reactions
Chappell Roan unexpectedly found herself at the center of renewed attention this week when Troye Sivan and Connor Franta exchanged subtly charged Instagram posts referencing an old photo. Troye initiated the moment by sharing a throwback image featuring himself and Chappell Roan, notably cropping Connor Franta out. He later clarified in a cheeky comment, 'FYI I found that pic online doing my weekly Google of 'Troye Sivan and Chappell Roan', not my crop!" Not to be outdone, Connor responded in kind, posting his own version of the image with the caption 'my good side', a pointed nod to Troye's emotionally charged 2018 song 'The Good Side', which many fans believe references their past relationship. Fan reaction intensified when Connor, during a 2024 appearance on the Obsessed with Brooke Averick podcast, revealed that the two discovered Chappell Roan's music together in 2014 — a detail that reignited longstanding 'Tronnor' shipping rumors and underscored Roan's presence in the early YouTube community. Amid this playful digital back-and-forth, both Troye and Connor encouraged their audiences to check out Chappell Roan, praising her talent. Troye called her 'vocally blessed,' likening her voice to Adele's, while Connor added, 'Give that vocally blessed goddess her well-deserved promo.'

Primavera 2025 review: eclipsed the hype in a blaze of glitter
The Cambridge-born hyperpop princess controlled the stage with military precision, diving into high-BPM hits like 365, Club Classics, and Von Dutch, stalking the risers like a hyperpop dominatrix. Troye, all grin and sweat and slippery synths, was her perfect foil making out with one of his dancers mid-song, slurring 'I'm drunk as shit right now,' and offering the audience just enough camp to temper Charli's industrial edge. Together, they brought down the house with their collab Talk Talk, before Charli surprised Troye with a Sweat-themed birthday cake. And in one of the most talked-about moments of the festival, the crowd got an early Chappell Roan teaser, as the camera panned to her in the crowd performing the now-iconic TikTok dance to Apple.

Troye Sivan's Grindr Campaign Pays Tribute To Madonna's ‘Truth or Dare' & Supports LGBTQ Filmmaking
More than 30 years after Madonna: Truth or Dare, the documentary still has a hold on LGBTQ pop music and cinema. In Troye Sivan's new Grindr campaign Tap or Block, directed by Jake Wilson and produced by Juxtapose Studio's Charlie Wilson (no relation), the Australian gay pop-star and his Something to Give Each Other Tour dancers discuss hotel sex, open relationships, communication and more as they pay tribute to the 1991 Alek Kesheshian and Mark Aldo Miceli-helmed documentary. More from Deadline Kelley O'Hara On Executive Producing Her First Short Film 'Ripe!' and Keeping Teamwork Central After Her Professional Soccer Retirement 'A Mother Apart' Wins Top Prize At Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival Awards Bowen Yang Teases 'SNL50' Anniversary Special: "Still All In Lorne's Head" 'What was really fun about this idea is it came around really organically,' Charlie Wilson tells Deadline. 'Once we had Troye's interest and Grindr's interest, it seemed like such a natural segue from really hearing how proud Troye was about this tour and how close his relationship was with these dancers, and thinking about how Grindr is this boundary-pushing, sex-positive brand.' He credited Tristan Pineiro, Grindr's SVP Brand Marketing + Comms, with coming up with the concept, 'something reminiscent of Madonna's Truth or Dare, the iconic Barcelona scene where there's the gay kiss and how Troye's current relationship sort of mirrored that in an interesting way.' Pineiro said the documentary was 'a true awakening for so many of us,' adding, 'Seeing gay people in mainstream media, talking about sex and intimacy was unheard of. So, when this opportunity with Troye, one of the biggest gay global icons, came up, Madonna's impact was definitely something we wanted to pay homage to, while leaning into not only Troye's and his dancers' experiences, but the highly relatable behaviors and topics of discussion for our Grindr community.' Documenting her controversial 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, Truth or Dare served as an intimate behind-the-scenes look at Madonna's relationships with her dancers, crew, friends and family, as well as then-boyfriend Warren Beatty. Juxtapose has put $25,000 from the campaign toward writer and actor Andrew Chappelle's (Broadway's Hamilton, The Tick, Blindspotting) upcoming short I'm Gonna Kill You, with matched funding from Google exec and film financier Kate Aitken. The short also received a $5,000 production grant last June when Chappelle won Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival's two-minute 'Pitch, Please!' competition. Filming begins in May. Chappelle describes I'm Gonna Kill You as 'a gay erotic thriller that's set in a post-apocalyptic,' specifically 'an all-gay colony of men, and it explores the perils of monogamy.' The short comes after last year's Ripe!, which Juxtapose co-founder Luke Anderson produced alongside college friend, NWSL pro Kelley O'Hara, after re-investing funds from Juxtapose's Dick's Sporting Goods campaign, starring Will Arnett and Kathryn Hahn. Directed by Tusk, Ripe! won Tribeca Film Festival's Best Narrative Short.
