When his ex-Babygirl sees this, do we think she’s gonna scream, “God, what has he done?” It turns out Keith Urban is a pink pony girl who dances at the club, “the club” being Donald Trump’s Florida estate. Less than two months after news broke that he and Nicole Kidman were splitting up, Urban performed Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” at a private Mar-a-Lago party that was attended by the president and thrown by Australian billionaire and Trump donor Anthony Pratt. Trump sat next to Pratt at the November 15 event, where — according to an Instagram post from an attendee — Urban also sang Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Is This Love.”
This isn’t the first time that Urban has covered Roan; per Them, he’s been singing “Pink Pony Club” at shows for several months now. He’s also sung its praises in the press, reflecting during an April appearance on MuchMusic’s Intimate and Interactive that the track almost made him cry the first time he heard it. “I’m like, Yeah, who doesn’t wanna find a safe place, wherever that is?” he said. “You just wanna find your people. Doesn’t matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong there. God, that speaks to me.” On the one hand, that seems to align with Roan’s intended message with the song, which was inspired by her own experience of feeling liberated at the Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood. On the other hand, performing the queer anthem for the president and his donors seems to go completely against Roan’s politics and general vibe, given that she declared “F–k Trump, for f–king real” in a TikTok during the 2024 election cycle last September.
In 2017, Urban opted not to give a straight answer when asked if he’d perform at the White House while Trump was in office. According to The Hill, he said he would “probably answer that question when it comes up,” adding, “But I’m a citizen, and I like to do what’s right.” Last September, when asked by the Times if he would publicly endorse Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, Urban suggested that people should be able to infer his stance without him explicitly saying it. “I’m often amazed that people don’t look to artists’ work — they’re pretty clear on who they are and their views, and I’m no different,” he said. “I play to extremely diverse audiences in every way, politically and pronoun [sic], age groups, ethnicity.” Looks like that crowd includes conservative 79-year-old presidents who are against pronouns.
