Adorned in a massive wig, Chappell Roan performed sings such as 'Pink Pony Club,' 'Picture You,' and 'Red Wine Supernova' for NPR's Tiny Desk.
pink prom dress, lipstick-stained teeth, blue eye shadow, and a messy, massive orange wig. That’s a drag queen for you!Backed by a full band , the Missouri-born star opened her performance with “Casual.” Where better to sing “Knee deep in the passenger seat while you’re eating me out” than a non-profit radio station’s office?
“I didn’t really watch the Super Bowl last night. I don’t care, first of all. Who fucking cares,” she joked. “This isSuper Bowl.” Roan then pulled out a disposable camera and snapped photos of the audience and her band before her queer utopia-manifesting “Pink Pony Club.” “Also this wig. Though it looks like it’s all my hair, it’s a wig,” Roan said, before pulling out a bedazzled flip phone and brattishly sending a text message. Roan then performed the slower “Picture You” and later “California” after introducing her band. “I love NPR guys. Wait! I donate,” Roan told the crowd, which erupted in claps. “Yeah. Not to brag but like, I’m really giving.”
Roan closed her performance with a rendition of “Red Wine Supernova” in which her vocals absolutely shined. She also reminded her band: “Be bimbos, ladies. Be bimbos!”Trump's 'Lunatic' ABC Lawsuit Is About Bullying the Media, Not Winningnamed her one of music’s Future 25 as the “future of pop” music Thursday.
