Lucy Dacus has shared how her “new friendship” with Chappell Roan helped her get through a bad week.In a new interview with People Magazine, the Boygenius singer revealed that she and her bandmates Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers first struck up a relationship with Roan after she spoke out publicly about the “weird” and “creepy behaviour of some fans.“When [Chappell] was feeling spread really thin, all of us in Boygenius were encouraging her and telling her that it’ll die down, and it is just a really spinny trip when everybody has something to say about you,” Dacus said.She went on to share that Roan has returned the support, explaining: “I had kind of a bad week a couple of weeks back, where putting out music just feels worse, and it made me wonder if I should just skip to the part of my life where I live off the land and have a job that isn’t my name,” the “Talk” singer laughs. “And she was just like, ‘No, what you make is important and makes a lot of people feel less lonely.'”Dacus added that the ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ singer also sent her flowers. “I’m just grateful to have made a new pal with such a good heart.”Dacus said that both she and Roan are “mutually” learning that “when people hate you, they don’t know you.”“On the flip side, when they love you, they don’t know you either,” Dacus notes. “So it’s like, protect yourself from the hate, but also don’t let the love of other people replace the real love in your life.“They might understand you, but they really don’t know who you are as a person,” she added.The comments come in the midst of Dacus’s promo for her fourth studio album ‘Forever Is A Feeling’, which is set for release on March 28 via Polydor/Geffen (pre-order/pre-save here).So far, four singles from the.
