Chappell Roan's parents have weighed in on one of her most popular songs in an emotional Carpool Karaoke moment.
The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer is one of three pop divas to appear in A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, with Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa each taking a turn in the passenger seat during the surprise hour-long release on Apple TV+ Monday morning.
We're all familiar with the Carpool Karaoke format by now. A host drives a celebrity around, casually interviewing them in between singing along to familiar tunes. When the celeb is a singer, that often includes or even centers around songs of their own.
In Roan's case, this took a particularly meaningful turn. Her parents, Kara and Dwight, were in the backseat for the singalong — including "Pink Pony Club," a song about finding a sense of belonging among the dancers and weirdos in Los Angeles no matter how much it upsets her mother back home.
Roan's parents sang along to the song, holding hands. When it was over, host Zane Lowe asked them how they feel about it.
"I started to tear up just listening to her sing it just now. We love her so much and we're so proud of what she does and who she is and what she stands for that that song. I love singing it with her at her shows," Kara said. "You can just see the people just respond to that song so much."
Dwight got emotional as well, having to take a moment before responding.
"What she stands for is a lot of hope," he said. "But what she has taught me as a father is respect for other people, and all people. And that's what I want people to understand. Everything that is about her is about loving everybody. And she has taught me that."
"We could never not be proud of her, honestly," her mom added.
A Carpool Karaoke Christmas is available to watch now on Apple TV+. Watch Chappel sing 'Pink Pony Club' with her parents below.
