Chappell Roan, 28, discussed her strategic approach to social media use during a June 1 appearance on "The Elton John Impact Awards" podcast, stating she is in a "privileged position" because she can remove the apps from her phone when feeling overwhelmed. Roan, a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and an honoree at the 2026 Elton John Impact Awards for her contributions, acknowledged the prevalence of negativity in online comment sections but also noted the significant support she and Elton John receive. She highlighted the difficulty for many artists to separate their careers, personal lives, and online presence, especially when social media momentum is crucial for their careers, contrasting this with her ability to disengage without detrimental professional impact.
