Keith Urban delivered a private set at a Mar-a-Lago party attended by President Trump over the weekend.
Keith Urban performed a Chappell Roan song at a private Mar-a-Lago party on Saturday.
The event was attended by President Trump, who, at 79, was seen seated next to Pratt throughout the evening.
Reaction online was mixed, with some social media users cheering the Grammy winner’s connection to Trump while others said they felt “sickened” by it.
Representatives for Urban and Roan did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions to the moment, with some saying they were “sickened” while others celebrated it.
Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” was notably inspired by The Abbey, the iconic gay bar in West Hollywood, Calif.
Urban shared on Intimate and Interactive in April that he “almost cried” the first time he heard the track. “Who doesn’t want to find a safe place, wherever that is?” he said. “You just want to find your people — it doesn’t matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong.”
The songwriter, who has not publicly disclosed his political views, was asked in 2017 whether he would perform at the White House during Trump’s presidency.
He has yet to address the headlines surrounding his performance this weekend.
“I’d probably like to answer that question when it comes up, but I’m a citizen, and I like to do what’s right,” Urban said at the time, according to The Hill.
Seven years later, as Trump faced off against former Vice President Kamala Harris, the musician again declined to endorse a presidential candidate.
“I’m often amazed that people don’t look to artists’ work — it’s usually pretty clear who they are and what they believe, and I’m no different,” he told The Times in 2024.
“Pink Pony Club” was inspired by The Abbey, the famed gay bar in West Hollywood, Calif.
“I play to extremely diverse audiences in every way — politically, by pronoun, age group, and ethnicity,” the guitarist noted.
At the time, Urban was married to Nicole Kidman, who has similarly stayed quiet on political matters.
The actress told BBC News in 2017 that she feels “reticent” to discuss politics publicly because she considers herself an “issue-based” voter.
Urban separated from his estranged wife Nicole Kidman earlier this year.
The pair had been married for nearly two decades.
The “Big Little Lies” star, 58, and Urban made headlines in September when they called it quits after 19 years of marriage and two children together.
Kidman hinted at trouble in a recent Vogue interview, reflecting, “How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?”
Neither she nor Urban has publicly addressed their breakup.
