The 27-year-old musician garnered a positive reaction from the crowd when she exclaimed, “F–k ICE,” at the event. Despite the backlash from DHS, Roan remains unfazed and has expressed her deep love for live performances.
Reflecting on her journey, Roan disclosed during her final show in Los Angeles that she had been questioning the purpose of her performances but eventually found clarity.
