The Midwest Princess herself, Chappell Roan, found herself deep in Florida surrounded by an ecstatic and loving crowd at Revolution Live, Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, Oct. 26. 

With Halloween just around the corner, the audience was dressed to the nines in red and black styles inspired by the city’s tour theme of “My Kink is Karma.”

The night began with a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture as two local drag queens, Suzie Toot, and Kat Wilderness, energized the crowd – a tradition Roan has kept up to highlight artists in each tour stop. Both stunning performers brought the packed house down and established an ongoing theme of acceptance as Wilderness, a trans woman, proudly held up a trans flag toward the end of her act. The duo also crowned one lucky audience member – the wearer of a golden wristband assigned earlier in the night – Miss Fort Lauderdale. 

The time finally arrived for Roan and her three-piece band to take the stage, kicking off a set supporting her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Highlights included the performance of her August single HOT TO GO!, during which the crowd excitedly mirrored the fun YMCA-reminiscent choreography back to Roan. 

Roan will be opening on select dates of Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS tour next year, so make sure to catch the soulful songstress as her star continues to rise.
