Chappell Roan turned the second night of her Super Graphic Spectacular benefit shows into another celebration of pop collaboration, bringing out PinkPantheress and Caroline Polachek during her October 22 performance at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium. The two-night fundraiser, organized through Roan’s Midwest Princess Project, also welcomed Lola Young back to the stage as artists gathered to support transgender youth and LGBTQ+ communities.
One of the evening’s biggest surprises came when PinkPantheress joined Chappell Roan for “Tonight,” the British singer’s 2025 single from her Fancy That mixtape. Before introducing her guest, Roan made her admiration clear, telling the audience that she adored PinkPantheress and that she was “just so cunt,” before thanking her for being part of the event.

Caroline Polachek, who was already part of the Night 2 lineup, also joined Chappell Roan onstage for “Look at Me Now,” a song from Polachek’s 2019 debut solo album, Pang.
Lola Young made a return appearance after opening the first night, joining Chappell Roan for “Picture You,” a fan-favorite track from The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. The duet continued a run of special guest moments across the fundraiser, following the previous night’s surprise appearance by Christina Aguilera. The two singers performed Roan’s “Coffee,” bringing Aguilera’s powerhouse vocals to the emotionally vulnerable song from Roan’s 2023 debut album.
Beyond the guest appearances, Roan’s set included some of her best-known songs, among them “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl,” “The Subway,” “HOT TO GO!” and “Red Wine Supernova.”
The Super Graphic Spectacular took place October 21–22 at the Shrine Auditorium, marking the first anniversary of the Midwest Princess Project. Founded by Roan in 2025, the nonprofit supports transgender youth and LGBTQ+ communities by providing funding, resources, and connections to organizations offering direct assistance. During its first year, the project raised more than $800,000 and supported over 60 organizations, with proceeds from the benefit shows intended to expand that work.
