Chappell Roan took the stage at the 2024 VMAs for a fiery performance of “Good Luck, Babe!”
After much anticipation of what the singer had in store, she wowed on the red carpet in a medieval-inspired outfit. Fire and an ornate medieval castle took over the stage in New York City as Chappell Roan appeared in dueling-ready armor and sang her hit “Good Luck, Babe!”
Before the “Red Wine Supernova” singer took the stage, she was introduced by “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Sasha Colby, who repeated her iconic line to Chappell Roan and introduced her as “your favorite drag queen’s favorite artist.”
“Pop music is inclusive. No matter what you look like or who you love, it’s for everyone and no one has revived that spirit more than this next artist,” said Sasha Colby. “You all saw it go through the roof – the Midwestern princess is here. Your favorite drag queen’s favorite artist,” she continued. “Here’s my daughter, Chappell Roan!”
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer first referenced the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner’s iconic line during her Coachella performance in April, when she told the crowd, “I’m your favorite artist’s favorite artist; I’m your dream girl’s dream woman.” The singer was inspired by a Sasha Colby quote that reads, “I’m your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen.”
Chappell Roan is one of the top three performers nominated for Best New Artist, alongside Tyla and Gracie Abrams, and is also nominated for MTV Push Performance of the Year for her performance of “Red Wine Supernova” in March 2024.
The “Good Luck Babe” singer was also nominated in two social categories at the 2024 VMAs, including Best Trending Video for “HOT TO GO!” and Song of the Summer for “Good Luck, Babe!” Song of the Summer went to “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift and Post Malone, while the award for Best Trending Video went to host Megan Thee Stallion for “Mamushi” featuring Yuki Chiba.
