Chappell Roan's Father Breaks Down in Tears While Listening to 'Pink Pony Club' on 'Carpool Karaoke'

Chappell Roan had a meteoric rise to fame over the course of 2024, and now she is wrapping up the year by reflecting on that fame.

The music superstar appeared in Apple TV+ and Apple Music's A Very Carpool Karaoke Christmas. In the segment she is joined by her parents, Kara and Dwight, as well as host Zane Lowe for a special SUV sing-a-long of her song "Pink Pony Club."

The segment -- which was first popularized by James Corden -- featured Lowe driving Roan and her parents around rural Missouri in an SUV, complete with Christmas decorations strewn about the car. As Lowe played "Pink Pony Club," Roan and her parents sang along, with the latter two getting emotional -- especially during lines that reference her midwestern family.

Once the song had ended, her parents discuss the impact that it has had.

"That song... I love singing it with her at her shows, I love it when you can just see the people respond to that song so much," her mother said. "Even when we're growing up, we really care about what our parents think of us... I hope that's something that she always knows, that we love her so much and we could never not be proud of her."

Her father broke down in tears before also reflecting on the importance of the song.

"What she stands for is a lot of hope... but what she has taught me as a father is respect for other people and all people. That's what I want people to understand, everything that is about her is about loving everybody... and she has taught me that," he said.
