Keith Urban performed a Chappell Roan song at an event President Donald Trump attended at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday, Nov. 15.
Urban, 58, and Trump, 79, both attended Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt’s private party.
The president was seen sitting next to Pratt, 65, an Australian businessman donated $10 million to Trump’s 2024 election campaign. In April, Pratt also pledged $5 billion to support Trump’s call to reindustrialize the U.S., according to Axios.
The Australian country singer performed Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” and Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” according to an Instagram post from user @tali.florida.
PEOPLE reached out to Urban’s representatives for comment.
“Pink Pony Club” notably chronicles the story of a young woman leaving her small Southern town and religious upbringing behind to embrace her true self in California. Roan has revealed that she was inspired to write the song after going to a famous gay bar, The Abbey, in West Hollywood, Calif.
Urban has performed “Pink Pony Club” during his recent concerts. He previously said on the Canadian web series Intimate and Interactive that he “almost cried” when he heard the song, according to Them.
“Who doesn’t wanna find a safe place, wherever that is? You just wanna find your people — doesn’t matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong there,” Urban said. “God, that speaks to me.”

In 2017, Urban said he was unsure if he’d perform at the White House while Trump was president. “I would like to probably answer that question when it comes up, but I’m a citizen, and I like to do what’s right,” he said at the time, according to The Hill.
“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 told The Times in September 2024, when asked if he’d publicly endorse a presidential candidate. “I play to extremely diverse audiences in every way, politically and pronoun, age groups, ethnicity.”
During the 2024 election cycle, Roan, 27, criticized Trump and posted a TikTok in September 2024, saying. “F— Trump for f—ing real.”
“No, I’m not voting for Trump,” she said in a separate TikTok. “Yes, I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people. And I will stand up for what’s right and what I believe in.”
