Chappell Roan's journey to stardom is a fascinating case study in modern fan engagement and career strategy. Her rapid ascent highlights a unique dynamic where fans feel deeply intertwined with her success. This connection, bolstered by her team, has undeniably fueled her rise but also set high expectations. An interesting facet of Roan’s career is her "100% rule" for decision-making: every choice must be an unequivocal yes, or it’s a no. This reflects a deliberate and intentional approach, prioritizing authentic alignment over mere opportunity. However, the recent backlash over her show cancellations in favor of a VMA performance underscores a critical tension in the industry. Despite industry norms, the move felt dissonant to fans accustomed to her authenticity. The late notice and scant communication only widened the gap. This discussion on the /r/Fauxmoi subreddit is a reflection of the volatile nature of public perception, especially in the pop sphere. Artists must navigate these choppy waters to build enduring careers. ?? How crucial is transparent communication in maintaining fan trust? ?? Can artists balance industry demands with the expectations they set for their fans? The nuances of Roan's situation highlight the broader challenges and strategies necessary for sustained success in pop music. #ChappellRoan #FanEngagement #PopStardom #MusicIndustry #CareerStrategy #Authenticity #PublicPerception

Are we living in the age of risk aversion? New research from The Wallace Foundation highlights how so-called "conversion" strategies generally fail. These are where fine arts organizations program a special series, perhaps a collaboration between an up-and-coming chef and an orchestra, for the purpose of attracting new (younger!) audiences. The aspiration is that these younger attendees will cross over to "regular" programming... and there is simply no evidence that such a thing happens at scale. According to the Pew Research Center, attitudes toward cohabitation (as opposed to marriage, or prior to marriage) have shifted dramatically over just a few generations. For well over half of "cohabiters" the major sticking point is tied to money. Living together has clear financial benefits, but we know that a legal marriage can actually undercut a couple's financial capacity, especially if their earnings are low enough that they qualify for public assistance. (https://lnkd.in/eUiN2i_d, https://lnkd.in/egsGCYCA) Last, the public sector workforce has nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, but Governing's latest newsletter highlights how uneven the return has been. See: “In school districts, we hear a lot about how a school might have all their teaching positions filled but have no substitutes,” says Sara Hinkley, program director of an education center at the University of California, Berkeley.? So, the full-time roles are attractive, but the precarious substitute jobs are plainly not. How do we grapple with an increasingly risk-averse adult workforce? Can we do anything to make social and economic risks less off-putting?

Nope - no magic bullets for building performing arts subscribers (because, once again, new audiences don't want to become subscribers!). Thanks, Sunil, for the summary insights of this new Wallace Foundation report.
