According to Stereogum, Kacey Musgraves covered Chappell Roan’s Hit Single “Pink Pony Club” at her most recent live performance kicking off her North America tour for her newest album Deeper Well: Deeper Into The Well.  

“Pink Pony Club” is one of a plethora of hits shared by Roan, she recently broke records when she had the largest crowd in history at Lollapalooza in August. The song discusses a personal battle of Roan’s to leave her hometown and perform in clubs in West Hollywood. While accepting the disappointment she will face from her family, specifically her mother, she yearns to embrace her authenticity. The modern disco anthem for found family has been a staple in Roan’s discography, despite its release four years ago.

The music video for Roan’s song, features Chappell Roan performing in a run-down bar. Roan sings “Pink Pony Club” to juxtapose her dream in comparison to her setting. The video ends with the bar embracing the song and features Roan preforming in an LA club-like setting. The video features a plethora of queer icons, including RuPaul’s Drag Race Royalty, Victoria “Porkchop” Parker. 

The live performance of Musgraves’ cover was captured by fans. The videos show Musgraves and the audience singing to Roan’s world-stopping hit. As Musgraves sings the cover it leads her into her own disco-pop song “High Horses” from her most recent album.
