Fast-rising pop singer-songwriter Chappell Roan made a memorable appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” Thursday, wearing a wild feathered black outfit for her chat with the host before donning a completely different feather-bedecked dress to perform her latest single, “Good Luck, Babe!”
Her performance of the song was vivid, as she showed off her formidable vocal range on the final “I told you so!” segment of the song from a surreal garden-like setting, which begin and ended with her singing while seated on a throne shaped like a white swan.
The interview — her first on late-night TV — was lively from the start. Fallon pulled out a photo of a young Roan performing onstage years ago before a handful of people, which the singer recalled was from “this weird gay festival” and “I think it was the first time I performed ‘Pink Pony Club’ in front of the world,” she added, referencing her ode to a mythical nightclub “where boys and girls can all be queens every single day,” which appears on her debut album, “The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess.”
