See Chappell Roan Transform NPR’s Tiny Desk Into a Drag Prom Fantasy


Adorned in a massive wig, Chappell Roan performed sings such as "Pink Pony Club," "Picture You," and "Red Wine Supernova" for NPR's Tiny Desk.

Snow white makeup, pink prom dress, lipstick-stained teeth, blue eye shadow, and a messy, massive orange wig.
