Keith Urban recently performed some unexpected covers at a private event. The country singer took the stage at Mar-a-Lago on Nov. 15 during a party hosted by Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt.
One guest took to Instagram to share photos and videos from the event. According to the post, Urban covered Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” and Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” during his time on stage.

Urban has previously covered Roan’s hit track. During an interview on the web series Intimate and Interactive, Urban expressed his love for the song, which has become an LGBTQ anthem.
“When I heard that song, I just almost cried,โ he said.โWho doesnโt wanna find a safe place, wherever that is? You just wanna find your peopleโdoesnโt matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong there. God, that speaks to me.โ
President Donald Trump, who owns the Palm Beach, Florida, resort, was in attendance at the party. In fact, according to Axios, Trump was seated next to Pratt, who previously donated millions to his reelection campaign.
While Urban has remained largely tight-lipped on his political leanings, he spoke about his diverse fan base in a 2024 interview with The Times.
“Iโm often amazed that people donโt look to artistsโ workโtheyโre pretty clear on who they are and their views, and Iโm no different,” he said of whether or not he’d endorse a candidate. “[Look at] all the artists Iโve collaborated with, the kind of music I make. I play to extremely diverse audiences in every way, politically and pronoun, age groups, ethnicity.”
Keith Urban Takes Fans on The Road
Urban’s latest performance comes amid the first-ever season of his new singing competition series, The Road. On the CBS show, a group of 12 singers heads out on tour with Urban, opening for him in cities across the country. At each show, the audience votes on which singers should continue and who should be sent home.
The winner of the show, which also features Blake Shelton and Gretchen Wilson, will receive $250,000, a set at Stagecoach, and a recording contract.
During the series premiere, Urban, who’s currently going through a divorce from Nicole Kidman, opened up about the challenges of life on the road.
“Itโs a calling, and youโre going to do it or youโre not going to make it,โ Urban said of touring. โWhen you wake up on a tour bus at 3:30 in the morning and youโre sick as a dog, youโre in the middle of nowhere and youโve got to play your fifth show later that night, and you havenโt slept, and you miss your friends, and youโre missing your family, and youโre completely lonely and miserable and sickโand you say to yourself, โWhy am I doing this?’”
โThe only answer can be: because this is what Iโm born to do,โ he continued. โWeโre going to find out whoโs made for that stuff.”
The Road airs Sundays on CBS.
