On Thursday, the 26-year-old artist took to X to express her regret and sadness over the cancellations of several shows on her Midwest Princess tour.

"I am so sorry & very disappointed :( I promise I will be back. I'm heartbroken thank you for understanding," she concluded.

While the official reason for the cancellation is schedule conflicts, many fans think it may be related to the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), which are taking place around the same time.

Some have even criticized Chappell for choosing the awards show over her own fans – though the ceremony is a week after the shows that were canceled.

However, other fans have defended her, arguing that the event is a significant milestone in her career and that she shouldn't be criticized for being celebrated.

"Girl she's nominated for so many things. Fans should be so excited for her," one stated.

The scheduling change comes just days after Chappell took to social media to address issues of "predatory" fan behavior.

Despite the cancellations, the tour will continue in September, with shows in Glasgow, Dublin, and London. Chappell will also be making appearances at music festivals including All Things Go and Austin City Limits!
