by

As an ardent fan who has followed the journey of these extraordinary artists for over a decade, I am absolutely captivated by the intricate web of connections that bind Troye Sivan and Chappell Roan together. It’s a tale as old as time, a tale of music, discovery, and friendship that spans continents and timelines.

In the year 2014, Troye Sivan stumbled upon a song titled Die Young on YouTube and was captivated by its exceptional sound. The talented musician behind this track was Chappell Roan, whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz. Now, she’s widely acknowledged as your beloved artist’s current favorite artist. The musical bond between these two trailblazers of queer pop music can be traced back a full decade when Sivan gave her a shout-out on Twitter, which we now know as X.

Connor Franta and Sivan announced in a podcast that they had come across the lesbian pop sensation known as Roan (Kayleigh Rose) back in 2014. They highly appreciated her vocal skills, drawing comparisons with Adele. Later on, the artist behind “Bloom” took to Twitter to recommend Roan’s YouTube channel to his fans and encourage them to listen to her music.

One tweet stated, “For the past two months, I’ve been playing a 16-year-old girl’s song on repeat. Guys, you absolutely need to hear this—so go ahead and show some affection.” Later, Sivan posted a link to Rose’s Die Young track. A fan from X recently brought up this memory by posting images of Sivan’s 2014 Twitter thread, expressing admiration for the artist behind Pink Pony Club hit, Rose, as well as Franta.

On the podcast, Franta reminisced, “My partner and I stumbled upon the song on YouTube back then. It barely had any views, yet her voice was astounding, so we began sharing our enthusiasm on Twitter, saying something like: ‘This woman’s talent is extraordinary.’

According to PinkNews, it was common during their most popular period on YouTube for Troy and Connor to frequently socialize, mention each other, or team up for videos. These actions led to widespread speculation that they were dating. Fans even coined the term ‘Tonnor’ for them as a couple name. However, no official confirmation of such a relationship existed in 2014.

About a ten years past, Franta’s story about finding Roan with his then partner sparked more interest. Fans were thrilled as they dug up their conversation, along with Troye Sivan’s shout-out on Twitter.

While Angel Baby’s singer has been occupied with tours alongside Charli XCX, Chappell Roan has garnered attention for establishing strong limits. Notably, the Red Wine Supernova singer recently called off her music festival performances due to health concerns. She has openly discussed her struggles with the downsides of her rapid ascent in the music industry. It’s also been revealed that Chappell Roan is battling severe depression.
