Arguably one of the biggest hits of 2024, "Pink Pony Club" and Chappell Roan have rightfully earned massive praise and accolades — ones the size of the massive pony that stood on stage during her performance at the 2025 GRAMMYs.

Thanks to the astonishing success of her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, Roan is being celebrated at this year’s ceremony in some of the night’s most-coveted Categories, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist. Shortly after her performance, Roan won the golden gramophone for Best New Artist.

Though it took a little while for The Rise to get into the cultural zeitgeist, Roan's GRAMMYs debut showcased just how essential she has already become to the pop world. The crowd in the Crypto.com Arena — including artists such as Alicia Keys and Janelle Monáe —  rose to their feet, much like the massive festival crowds Roan has performed for recently. Their dancing was only topped by the immaculately choreographed crowd of rodeo clowns miming in unison, matching the artistry of the moment.

Prior to taking the stage, Roan welcomed the audience into her story, for those very few not aware of her meteoric rise. Her story of growing up queer in Missouri and longing for a larger world, not to mention finding a home in Los Angeles, rang especially powerfully this evening.

Wearing a black and gold rhinestone-adorned corset with black leather gloves, and a black bedazzled cowboy hat, Roan kept things hot, her copper hair flowing across the stage, elegantly soaring into the song as if she were inviting audiences to an exciting new world we’ve never seen before. Holding her hand, the audience sang along: "I know you wanted me to stay/ But I can’t ignore the crazy visions of me in L.A."

During her introduction, good friend Olivia Rodrigo noted that Roan has come a long way from working in a nearby donut shop in L.A.'s Highland Park. And with this powerful, sincere performance, Roan is sure to reach even more dazzling heights in the future.
