Roan also addressed the blurred lines between her public persona and private life, stating that she doesn’t owe anyone a “mutual exchange of energy, time or attention” outside of her professional engagements.

She specifically called out “predatory behavior” disguised as “superfan” behavior, which has become normalized due to the way women have been treated in the past. “Please do not assume you know a lot about someone’s life, personality and boundaries because you are familiar with them or their work online,” Roan urged her followers.

The singer-songwriter concluded her message by expressing her gratitude for her genuine fans’ understanding and support. “This has nothing to do with the gratitude and love I feel for my community, for the people who respect my boundaries and for the love I feel from every person who lifts me up and has stuck with me to help the project get to where it is now.”

Roan’s message has already resonated with other musicians, including Maren Morris and Hayley Williams of Paramore, who have co-signed her statement and shared their own experiences with harassment in the industry.
