Chappell Roan is opening up about the privilege she has for staying away from social media.

On an episode of iHeartRadio and P&G's Elton John Impact Awards podcast released Monday (June 1), the "Subway" singer, 28, got real about she navigates her social media presence, per People. After explaining that it can be "disheartening sometimes to really go into the comment section" and that it can be hard to separate "social media and your job and being a good person," Roan revealed that she has deleted social media from her phone at this time.

"I just delete it when it becomes too much and keep it moving," she said. "Because at the end of the day, no matter what anyone says about me or online or in person, it's not gonna stop people like Elton [John] and I from donating money, donating time, writing about things that matter to us."

The Grammy winner also understands that while she has that opportunity, not all artists have the privilege of taking a step away without it severely impacting their career.

"It's such a difficult world to navigate that personally, if I just delete it and keep it moving, I kind of make it out of that hurricane," she said. "But that's hard for a lot of artists because if you really rely on social media to fuel your momentum, that can be really disheartening and it can feel very hopeless."

She added, "I'm in a very privileged position where I can be like, 'I'm not gonna be on this and I'll be fine.' But not everyone is like that."

In a June 2025 conversation with SZA for Interview magazine, Roan admitted that harsh critiques of her as a person rather than on the art she creates "makes me cry."

The inaugural Elton John Impact Awards, hosted by Elvis Duran and Billy Porter, launched as a podcast series on June 1 and celebrates several LGBTQ+ icons and allies who have broken barriers and whose work has helped inspire change, uplift the community, and given back to LGBTQ+ organizations. This year's honorees include Roan, Jonathan Bailey, Laverne Cox, Melissa Etheridge, Billie Jean King, and Orville Peck.

Is there anyone more iconic than Celine Dion? NOPE! So, mark your calendars for January 13th because she's bringing her Courage World Tour to the Bridgestone Arena!
