We’ve seen Chappell Roan go viral on countless occasions throughout 2024, and she’s showing no signs of stopping. The Grammy-nominated singer wrapped the year up by taking part in A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, and her episode immediately went viral for all the right reasons.
A Carpool Karaoke Christmas sees James Corden passing the torch to Zane Lowe, who’s joined by several A-list stars in his first episode as the new host. Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga hopped in the taxi with Lowe to perform some of their favorite holiday classics, but Chappell Roan was eventually the one that got everyone talking.
Roan returned to her home state of Missouri in her video, and she was joined by her parents Dwight and Kara Amstutz. At one point, they delivered an emotional rendition of her breakout hit “Pink Pony Club”, the semi-autobiographical song that talks about her putting Tennessee in the rearview mirror and embracing her true self in Los Angeles.
Singing this song alongside her loved ones was a full-circle moment for the young artist and her parents, who were visibly emotional during the ride. Her father even wiped away tears from his eyes after she delivered the line “don’t think I’ve left you all behind” before talking about how proud he was of her.
Roan broke the internet on countless occasions this year, after finding viral success with her songs “Hot To Go!” and “Good Luck, Babe!” Her decision to openly speak about the pressures of her newfound fame stirred a lot of controversy online and started a larger conversation about the harassment and stalking that celebrities often go through.
