Chappell Roan Teases The Subway with Breakup Bangs, Beards and NYC Billboards
Chappell Roan may not be a subway regular, but shes certainly taking over New Yorks streets in the lead-up to what looks like the long-awaited release of her next single, The Subway. After months of fan buzz and live performances of the song, Roan has launched a teaser campaign across Manhattan thats as theatrical and offbeat as she is.The Subway Is (Finally) Leaving the StationFirst debuted during her Statue of Liberty-clad performance at last years Governors Ball, The Subway has become a staple in Roans live shows. Its raw, catchy, and soaked in that signature heartbreak-meets-camp vibe Roan fans love. But while the artist has kept the studio version under wraps, until now, recent signs suggest we wont be waiting much longer.Across New York City, posters have begun popping up featuring Roan in two eccentric looks: one with lopsided, self-inflicted bangs and another where she sports a long wig and beard. The tagline? Going through a breakup? Get Bangs! A closer look reveals a clue tucked in her hair a bread tag reading Best before August 1st. Fans are taking that as a not-so-subtle hint that The Subway drops on that date.From Street Art to Saskatchewan?Roan isnt stopping at cryptic posters. A sneak peek of the track has landed on her official YouTube channel, complete with what looks like cover art and the same rough-edged glamor thats become her calling card. To top it all off, shes also been spotted filming in New York this month, prompting speculation that a full music video is incoming.One of the most eyebrow-raising teasers? A video clip of Roan driving away in a truck with a Saskatchewan license plate. While the Canadian reference remains delightfully unexplained, its only added fuel to the fan frenzy, and memes, online.All Aboard the Subway Hype TrainAs the presumed August 1 release date approaches, all signs suggest that The Subway will be Roans next big pop moment. Her last release, The Giver, followed a similarly artsy breadcrumb trail that culminated in a triumphant drop. If history repeats, fans are in for something bold, theatrical, and a little unhinged, just how Roan likes it.Until then, fans are on high alert for more clues, content, or possibly even Chappell Roan herself prowling NYC in another wig. Whether youre in the depths of heartbreak or just along for the ride, The Subway promises a trip worth taking.Source
