To Think About ‘Pink Pony’ BS!!!

Keith Urban is not letting a silly controversy about his recent Mar-a-Lago performance faze him … ’cause the country star’s too busy raising bank for sick children.
Here the deal … KU just headlined a benefit concert at the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida on Tuesday … and he helped raise a record $2 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
It’s a big deal for a few reasons … obviously, the dude has a huge heart — actively supporting St. Jude for years — and he also just performed and presented at last night’s CMAs. But there was a snag over a song he played at a private gig.
TMZ broke the news … Keith performing a LGBTQ+ anthem at Mar-a-Lago with Trump in the room wasn’t him trying to send a political message. KU played Chappell Roan‘s “Pink Pony Club” among other tunes during a private gig for Pratt Industries … an annual event at Trump’s second home, for staff and partners of the biz headed by billionaire Anthony Pratt. A mixture of criticism and cheer was instantly dished out online as soon as a clip was posted, with some asking … WTF?
A source close to Keith told TMZ … Keith playing “Pink Pony Club” at the event — with Trump unexpectedly in attendance — was not a political statement, despite the rampant online speculation.
KU has been performing the Chappell Roan hit — inspired in part by West Hollywood’s iconic gay bar The Abbey — for quite a while, so it’s not outta left field … it’s just getting overanalyzed this time. Keith previously said on the Canadian web series “Intimate and Interactive,” he thinks it’s a beautiful, emotional song.
