During her interview with Jimmy Fallon, Ronan laughed as Fallon held up a viral social media post in which fans noted the resemblance between her and Chappell Roan, known for her hit “Pink Pony Club.” To add to the fun, Roan herself had even shared a TikTok video in which she morphs her face into Ronan’s, amplifying the uncanny similarity.
“I do see the resemblance,” Ronan admitted, explaining that Roan was the first to make her aware of it. “She messaged me over the summer, and I got really obsessed with her music. She’s amazing.” As it turns out, Ronan, along with much of the internet, had become captivated by Roan’s vibe and music.

Ronan shared that she went to see Roan perform live over the summer, joined by actress Brie Larson. Eager yet nervous, the two friends debated how to approach Roan without giving away how much they admired her. “We were like, ‘Okay, we can’t just run over there and tell her how obsessed we are. We need to play it cool,’” Ronan joked. But their attempt to stay low-key didn’t last long.
To their surprise, when they finally met, it felt like a family reunion of sorts. Roan’s parents were there, and it turned out that one of Ronan’s friends was from the same town as Roan’s family. Eventually, Roan came over and said, “Oh, everyone says that we’re the same.”
The moment was a surreal experience for both stars, as they laughed and compared notes on their likeness. Fallon shared a photo of the two side-by-side, humorously pointing out that they are indeed “different people,” putting any conspiracy theories to rest.
