Chappell Roan's "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" album tour had the audience captiated from start to finish. The night kicked off fabulously, as three talented Toronto-local drag queens set the stage on fire, warming up the crowd for the night’s headliner. The concert-goers embraced the slumber party theme with enthusiasm, adding a playfulness and a beautiful sense of community to the atmosphere. Chappell took the stage and made sure the audience knew that at Chappell Roan shows, everyone is free to be exactly who they are, and would be welcomed with open arms. It was equally as heartwarming to know that the proceeds from the tickets were supporting For the Gworls, a trans-led initiative dedicated to fundraising money for rent, gender-affirming care, and other basic needs for Black trans people. Chappell Roan's performance was nothing short of magical, leaving the audience under her spell with her timeless and unique artistry.
