- Adele opened up about her love for Chappelle Roan during her concert in Munich on Wednesday, August 14
- She shared her support for the rising star who revealed how overwhelming her fame was
- Adele also called Roan “phenomenal”
Adele is the latest star to join Chappelle Roan’s “Femininomenon.”
During a rainy performance at Messe München in Munich on Wednesday (August 14), the soulful singer, 36, shared her thoughts on the rising pop star (whose real name is Kayleigh Amstutz), 26.
“I heard the song a little while ago on my birthday and I liked it, and it was also on one of my friend’s playlists. And then I went down the rabbit hole on Monday. All day,” Adele said, referring to Roan, in a clip posted by fans on X (formerly Twitter).
The “Set Fire to the Rain” artist continued: “She’s spectacular, and it turns out she doesn’t just have one song. She’s like seven fucking brilliant songs. I think she’s absolutely amazing. I’m so excited for her, but my a friend also said he was a little scared, well, do what you gotta do girl, but you’re awesome.”
“Anyway, that’s all I did this week was reveal Chappell Roan,” Adele concluded.

Chappell Roan on his love of drag queens and his debut album that ‘feels like a party’ (Exclusive)
Since the release of her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess last September, Roan’s career took off. Recently, her single “Sretno, honey!” became her first top 10 hit, while other singles “Hot to Go!,” “Pink Pony Club,” “Red Wine Supernova,” “Casual,” “Femininomenon” and “My Kink Is Karma” joined her on the Top 100 scale. Meanwhile, her debut LP entered the top 10 on the Billboard 200 almost a year after its release.
Roan recently revealed that she feels overwhelmed by her meteoric rise to pop stardom on TikTok released in June, revealing that fellow pop singers have since reached out to her.
“I think about my life and the past few weeks have been cowardly,” Roan, whose star has been rising while touring and performing on this year’s summer festival circuit, said in the clip. “But what’s so heartening and so p- — ing sick is — pop girls that you and I have loved all our lives or been fucking flats [of] the last two or three years — many of them have come forward and are very supportive and girls are girls.”
She then went on to say that she was impressed by the way “girls” “support each other in the pop industry”.
“Having people that I’m looking to reach out and offer like a friend or help, I don’t know, it’s sick and it makes me believe in the world,” she added.
Roan’s comments came after she paused a concert in North Carolina and told fans she was having trouble maintaining her newfound fame.

“I just want to be honest with the crowd. I’m feeling a little out of sorts today because I think my career is going really fast and it’s really hard to keep up. I’m just honest I’m just having a hard time today,” Roan said in a fan-filmed clip and shared with TikTok.
She continued, “I’m not trying to give you less of a show, it’s just, there’s a lot. Thank you for understanding. This is everything I’ve ever wanted. It’s just hard sometimes.”

In an interview with PEOPLE last September, Roan revealed why her music resonates so much with fans.
“I think people like to be entertained and I think my project works as entertainment,” she said. “I think people just want to be happy and think and sing and dance and dress up and feel free.”
Roan added: “The project gives people the opportunity to express themselves without judgment and the freedom to discover themselves in the same way that I feel the project allows me to discover myself.”
