Chappell Roan Abruptly Splits With Management

Chappell Roan has parted ways with her management team at State Of The Art, headed by Nick Bobetsky.

Hot on the heels of her first set of Grammy nominations, Chappell Roan has abruptly split with her management team. Her former management team at State Of The Art has been headed by Nick Bobetsky, who met Roan in 2018.

In 2025, the pop sensation is up for Album of the Year (The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess), Record of the Year, Song of the Year (both for “Good Luck, Babe!”), and Best New Artist — but her former management team didn’t mention her in their recent Instagram post congratulating their talent for their nods. That post has seemingly been removed, but the rumors were already circulating.

The news was confirmed by Nathan Hubbard, former Ticketmaster CEO, on a recent episode of the Every Single Album podcast. According to Hubbard, the news has sparked a frenzy in the industry as top managers scramble to make their bid to sign the rising star.

In addition to her Grammy nominations, Roan made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live, where she performed an unreleased track, the country-flavored pop track, “The Giver.” She also debuted an unreleased track, “Subway,” at her Governors Ball set over the summer. The 26-year-old has been busy writing new material.

But her rise to fame hasn’t been without its complications. Chappell Roan has been very outspoken about the “predatory” interactions she’s had with fans, and the toxic nature of fans who feel entitled to an artist’s time. “I don’t agree with the notion that I owe a mutual exchange of energy, time, or attention to people I do not know, do not trust, or who creep me out — just because they’re expressing admiration,” she said.

“I’m not afraid of the consequences for demanding respect,” she continued, explaining that the experience goes beyond just being famous. “Every woman is feeling or has felt similar to what I’m experiencing. This isn’t a new situation.”
