Chappell Roan Dances With Rodeo Clowns And Giant Pink Pony In Grammys Debut

Chappell Roan brought everyone at the 2025 Grammy Awards to the Pink Pony Club for her debut during music's biggest night at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 2).

After being introduced to the stage by her friend Olivia Rodrigo, who Roan opened for on her GUTS tour, the 26-year-old musician performed her song "Pink Pony Club," which she called her "love letter to LA." On a stage set up like a small southwestern town and joined by dozens of rodeo clowns, Roan belted out the anthem from atop a giant pink pony pledging that she is "gonna keep on dancing."

As is typical for performing the song live, Roan got the entire crowd singing along during the final chorus, with everyone from Janelle Monáe to Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes grooving along as Roan and her dancers pulled out all the stops to end her incredible set.

In addition to her show-stopping performance, Roan was nominated for six awards throughout the night, including Album of the Year for The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and Best New Artist, which she won and gave an inspiring speech while being unbothered by an unexpected wardrobe malfunction.

Days before her Grammys debut, the "Red Wine Supernova" singer shared a "cheesy" and "very emo" note to fans on social media expressing her gratitude for everyone who supported her throughout her breakout year, writing, "My heart feels warm and fuzzy with all the support I have been given this past year. I hope you can understand that this has been incredible and scary and spiritual and confusing."

Hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, who returned as host for the fifth year in a row, the 2025 Grammy Awards featured performances from artists like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, Doechii, Shakira, Charli XCX, Benson Boone, and many more as well as some must-see moments both on and off stage.
