Chappell Roan Brings Out Christina Aguilera, Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress and Lola Young at Her Los Angeles Benefit

Chappell Roan spent two nights in Los Angeles proving she has the best guest list in pop. The Super Graphic Spectacular, held at the Shrine Auditorium to mark the first anniversary of her Midwest Princess Project, which supports LGBTQ+ youth, ended Thursday night (Oct. 22) with Roan performing alongside Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress and Lola Young, Pitchfork reports. She joined Polachek for “Look at Me Now,” then took the headline set, with PinkPantheress doing “Tonight” and Young “Picture You.”

The night before, the guest was Christina Aguilera. About midway through Wednesday’s (Oct. 21) set, Roan introduced her as someone who “honestly paved the way for me and all women in pop,” Billboard reports. Aguilera sang her 2002 hit “Beautiful,” then joined Roan on her song “Coffee.” Roan flubbed the opening line, laughed with Aguilera and recovered, trading verses with her “pop elder” before the two harmonized to close it. Fan-shot video of the duet is on YouTube.

Aguilera returned the praise from the mic:

From the moment I heard Chappell’s voice, I knew she was a force to be reckoned with.

She called “Coffee” “one of my favorite songs of hers.” Roan also sang a version of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Expectations” during her set, Billboard notes, the song the two released a remix of last week. We covered that remix and its video; watch the official video below.

The undercard was stacked too. Lola Young, Tinashe, Amanda Lepore, Blaine Petrovia and Kyra Jeté opened Wednesday, and Polachek, MUNA, Alisa Mae, Fantasia Royale Gaga and Sweaty Eddie opened Thursday. The weekend before, Roan also joined Charli xcx for “Boom Clap” at the Kia Forum, per Pitchfork.

All proceeds from the shows go to the Midwest Princess Project, which Billboard says has raised more than $800,000 to date for over 60 organizations benefiting trans youth and LGBTQ+ communities.
