‘What she stands for is a lot of hope,’ the pop star’s father said. Chappell Roan’s family were reduced to tears when discussing the singer’s personal and public impact during her latest interview. The “Red Wine Supernova” singer, 26, is the latest guest on the Carpool Karaoke festive special A Very Carpool Karaoke Christmas alongside her mum Kara and dad Dwight Amstutz.

Speaking to Zane Lowe, who is fronting the special as guest host in James Corden’s absence, Kara and Dwight revealed how they felt when they first listened to Roan’s hit “Pink Pony Club”. The song tells the story of a performer who wants to leave their hometown in Tennessee and dance in a club in Santa Monica “where boys and girls can all be queens every single day”.
The track features the lyrics: “Won’t make my mama proud / it’s gonna cause a scene / She sees her baby girl, I know she’s gonna scream / God, what have you done?”. After singing along to “Pink Pony Club” with the entire car, Lowe asks Roan’s mum how she feels about having partially inspired the song.
“I started to tear up just listening to her sing it just now,” says Kara. “We love her so much and we’re so proud of what she does and who she is and what she stands for. “I love singing it with her at her shows and I love it when you can just see the people just respond to that song so much. And even when we’re grown up, we really care about what our parents think about us.”.
