It’s hard to imagine, but it’s been two years since Chappell Roan released The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The album not only established Chappell Roan as a pop superstar, but it also quickly cemented its place as one of the best albums of the 21st century.
Now a new book is charting Roan’s rise. Aptly titled Chappell Roan: The Rise of a Midwest Princess, the coffee table book features over 100 photos charting the singer’s career, her electric live performances, and her influences. The book, which is available to preorder and drops on Oct. 7, 2025, is published by Hearst Home, an imprint of Penguin Random House.

According to the publisher’s notes, the book “Immerses you in Chappell’s world, examining her rise to fame, how she established herself so seemingly quickly, and how she is challenging expectations while honoring gay women’s impact on pop culture.”
In addition to photos, the book features essays and contributions from Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, Dibs Baer, Patrick Crowley, Izzy Grinspan, J’na Jefferson, Ilana Kaplan, and Samantha Olson. Essays will touch on the ways she uses drag as an influence and the growth of her career.
While Chappell Roan’s sophomore album is still apparently not imminent, the artist nonetheless dropped two singles in 2025. She released “The Giver,” a country-inspired track, in March, plus ballad “The Subway” in August. Later this month, she’ll play a small string of shows in New York, Los Angeles, and Kansas City, in her home state of Missouri.
