Roan was one of three guests on Christmas Karaoke in the Car. The surprise holiday special aired on Sunday (December 15) exclusively on Apple TV+ and Apple Music.

Emotional Moments During the Performance

During the performance, the singer was joined by her parents, Dwight and Cara, alongside Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, as they traveled through her home state of Missouri.

The entire group participated in a karaoke rendition of “Pink Pony Club,” where Cara and Dwight expressed their excitement over the song’s references to her Midwestern roots.

“I started crying just listening to her sing it now,” she shared. “We love her very much and are so proud of what she does, who she is, and what she stands for. I love singing it with her at her concerts and witnessing the strong reactions from the audience. Even as we grow older, our parents’ opinions remain significant in our lives.”

Roan’s father, Dwight, also displayed deep emotions, stating, “I hope she always knows that we love her immensely and will always be proud of her. I reflect on this frequently and strive to keep my worries at bay. What she has taught me as a father is to respect all people, and that’s the message I hope to convey. Her love for everyone is truly remarkable, and she has instilled that in me.”

In another part of the discussion, Roan reflects on her religious upbringing: “I just couldn’t bear the feeling of shame anymore.”

Previously, in a conversation with NME, Roan discussed her upbringing, saying, “I grew up listening to Christian rock, but I never felt a connection. I was torn because I was genuinely interested in pop music but couldn’t understand my attraction to it. It represented a lifestyle I didn’t live. I was very private and modest.”

She further explained that emerging from the constraints of her religious background was a “gradual process” experienced at the Los Angeles queer center. “I was warned that this city was demonic and filled with Satanists,” she noted. “However, arriving in West Hollywood opened my eyes to the misconceptions I had, especially regarding the queer community. The first time I visited gay clubs, it felt spiritually uplifting.”

In other news, Roan’s breakout track “Good Luck, Babe” was recently honored as one of NME‘s “Best Songs of 2024,” reaching the top position: “There are hits, and then there are career-making hits. Released in April, this standalone single propelled Chappell Roan into the spotlight and turned her debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, into a remarkable success.
