Mariah Carey recently offered advice to rising star Chappell Roan, who has been navigating the challenges of sudden fame. Roan, known for her *Midwest Princess* tour, has faced overwhelming attention from fans and even canceled shows to focus on her health. When asked by The Associated Press for advice to young artists like Roan, Carey reflected on her own experiences with fame and self-esteem. She emphasized the importance of valuing one's talent above the desire for fame, saying, "I always wanted to sing and write songs, but fame was part of that dream." Carey encouraged Roan and other artists to "love your talent" and stay grounded in their passion rather than chasing the spotlight. She warned that seeking fame for its own sake can lead to unhealthy pressures. Roan, meanwhile, continues her tour, finishing in Austin this week, after finding balance in her career journey.
