Chappell Roan , 26 , is one of the biggest new pop stars on the planet.

In August , she posted two TikToks, calling out the " creepy behaviour" she's experienced.

This week , she said she might quit the music industry if harassment doesn't subside.

Some see Roan 's comments as evidence that the relationships between stars and their fans is changing.

Roan Ditum says social media is an incredible power in the hands of this generation.

Spears symbolises both the era's exploitation and the shift in the pressures of fame brought about by a changing media.

Social media allows stars to form parasocial relationships - the psychological term to describe the illusion of a friendship.
