Powerhouse performances have played a big role in thrusting Chappell Roan into superstardom. As a result, there was tremendous anticipation for her MTV Video Music Awards performance.
She more than lived up to the hype, delivering a visual compelling, charismatic, engaging rendition of her radio breakthrough “Good Luck, Babe!”
Even on a night with so many visually driven, choreography-heavy pop performances, Chappell’s effort ranked as a standout.
The performance was introduced by Sasha Colby, whose “your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen” quote fueled Chappell’s “your favorite artist’s favorite artist” mantra.
