Keith Urban Plays 'Pink Pony Club' at Mar-a-Lago Party Attended by President Trump

Instagram clips from donor Anthony Pratt’s private party prompted scrutiny over the song choice that Urban’s team has not addressed.

Overview

  • Footage posted by attendee Tali Israel showed Urban performing Chappell Roan’s queer-identified anthem and other covers during the Nov. 15 event at Mar-a-Lago.
  • President Trump was filmed seated next to host Anthony Pratt, an Australian billionaire who has backed Trump with past donations and a reported $5 billion pledge for U.S. manufacturing.
  • Urban also sang Bob Marley’s “Is This Love,” with the videos circulating widely after the weekend and drawing mixed reactions online.
  • The country star has been covering “Pink Pony Club” in recent shows and previously said the song’s message about finding a safe place “almost” made him cry.
  • Representatives for Urban offered no comment, while outlets noted Roan has criticized Trump and neither she nor the Marley estate had publicly responded.
