SZA Gushes Over Chappell Roan’s Lollapalooza Performance: ‘She Makes Me Wanna Keep Making New Music’

After SZA took the stage as the day two headliner of Lollapalooza over the weekend, the star took a moment on her Instagram Stories to spotlight another major performance of the Chicago festival — Chappell Roan’s.

“She makes me wanna keep making new music n art forever,” SZA wrote over Chappell’s post, in which she’s seen taking the stage in a wrestler-inspired outfit, before belting the lyrics to “Femininomenon.” Throughout her set, the 26-year-old pop star performed more of her fan-favorite tracks, including “Naked in Manhattan” and “Red Wine Supernova,” as well as “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Hot To Go!.”

Roan has skyrocketed to fame in the months since she dropped her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess last year. After a series of headline-making performances — including at Coachella and Gov Ball 2024 — the 14-track project earned a new peak of No. 5 on the Billboard 200 last month.

“It feels like I was right all along,” Roan recently told Jimmy Fallon of her musical rise during an appearance on his late-night talk show. “I feel kind of like, I made it already when people showed up to my concert a few years ago … everything else has been a cherry on top.”
