Chappell Roan Performs “Pink Pony Club” At 2025 GRAMMYs
Olivia Rodrigo introduced the singer to the stage after sharing a heartwarming memory of knowing Roan since the early days of her life when she was working at a donut shop in Los Angeles.
“I grew up in southwest Missouri in a small town called Willard. I felt very isolated. It felt like I was never good enough because I was gay,” Roan shared in a pre-performance interview. “I think my younger self really needed a girl like me to look up to.” Roan then described “Pink Pony Club” as a love letter to Los Angeles. “I love this city. L.A. gave me the courage to be myself because ultimately it is where I feel the most free,” she noted.
Roan’s performance included dancers in clown makeup and western-inspired outfits, reminiscent of a “rodeo clown,” as well as a massive pink pony that was situated in the center of the GRAMMYs stage.
Donning a fuchsia pink cowgirl ensemble, Chappell Roan dominated the stage with her charismatic personality and mesmerizing stage presence.
“God, what have you done?/ You’re a pink pony girl/ And you dance at the club/ Oh mama, I’m just having fun/ On the stage in my heels/ It’s where I belong down at the/ Pink Pony Club/ I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club/ I’m gonna keep on dancing down in West Hollywood/ I’m gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club, Pink Pony Club,” Roan sang on the tune’s anthemic chorus.
Several of Roan’s fellow superstar artists were spotted in the crowd singing along, such as Kelsea Ballerini, Chase Stokes, Alicia Keys and more.
Roan was nominated for six awards at this year’s GRAMMYs ceremony, including Best New Artist, Record Of The Year (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Album Of The Year (Chappell Roan, The Rise And Fall of a Midwest Princess), Song Of The Year (“Good Luck, Babe!”), Best Pop Vocal Album (Chappell Roan, The Rise And Fall of a Midwest Princess) and Best Pop Solo Performance (“Good Luck, Babe!”).
