The final stop of Chappell Roan's 'Midwest Princess Tour' was this past weekend at Austin City Limits, marking the conclusion of a 13-month journey that took the rising pop star across the globe. The tour kicked off in September 2023 with a series of headline shows in North America, followed by performances in Australia, the UK, and Europe, as well as appearances at some of the world's most prestigious music festivals.

Roan's set at Austin City Limits was a fitting finale for the tour, as she treated the crowd to a performance of 'Pink Pony Club' that she announced would be the last of the year. The energetic performance was complete with fireworks, creating a memorable and celebratory atmosphere for the fans.

Austin City Limits took to social media to showcase the overwhelming crowd that gathered for Chappell Roan's performance. A captivating video captured the audience singing along to "Good Luck, Babe!" with enthusiastic fervor. Some attendees even speculated that the turnout might be one of the largest in the festival's history.

Roan's final performance of the year featured a setlist that drew heavily from her debut album, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," which recently achieved global chart success a year after its initial release. The setlist also included a cover of Heart's "Barracuda" and the unreleased track "Subway."

Chappell Roan has previously hinted at her plans for future music, stating that her next album will be a "super weird" blend of country, dance, and '80s influences.
