Chappell Roan Returns to The Abbey to Celebrate 'Pink Pony Club' at PrEP Day Event
Chappell Roan appeared at The Abbey in West Hollywood on October 10 for MISTR's National PrEP Day event. She went behind the DJ setup as 'Pink Pony Club' played, returning to the gay bar that helped inspire the song after her first visit in 2018. The party also featured Charli xcx, Christina Aguilera, Kesha, Demi Lovato, Kim Petras, Tove Lo and other stars, with Charli performing.
Chappell Roan, 28, attended MISTR’s second National PrEP Day gathering at The Abbey in West Hollywood on Oct. 10. She stepped behind the DJ area while “Pink Pony Club” filled the room. The venue holds personal significance: her 2018 visit, at 21 and newly arrived in Los Angeles, was her first gay club and helped spark the track.
That song arrived in 2020 and later landed on her debut record, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, becoming a defining hit. The same event drew Charli xcx, Christina Aguilera, Kesha, Demi Lovato, Kim Petras, Tove Lo and others, with Charli performing.
The event may amplify conversations around PrEP and LGBTQ+ community spaces, potentially reaching Chappell Roan’s young fans and pop audiences. Her return to the gay bar could reinforce the venue’s cultural significance and encourage listeners to see nightlife as a source of belonging. The star-studded lineup may broaden the event’s reach, though actual effects on health behavior or community support remain uncertain.
