Keith Urban gave a private performance at a Mar-a-Lago party attended by President Trump over the weekend.
At Saturdayâs bash, hosted by Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, the country singer belted out Chappell Roanâs âPink Pony Clubâ and Bob Marleyâs âIs This Love.â
Snippets of his âgreatâ performance were shared via Instagram by an attendee.
Trump, 79, was spotted sitting beside Pratt at the event.
Social media users expressed mixed feelings over the Grammy winnerâs presence at the party, with some celebrating the link to Trump and others feeling âsickened.â
Reps for Urban and Roan did not immediately respond to Page Sixâs requests for comment.
Roanâs âPink Pony Club,â notably, was inspired by The Abbey, a famous gay bar in West Hollywood, Calif.
Urban gushed on âIntimate and Interactiveâ in April that he âalmost criedâ first hearing the song, explaining, âWho doesnât want to find a safe place, wherever that is? You just want to find your people â doesnât matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realize you belong there.â
The songwriter, who has not publicly shared his political leanings, was asked in 2017 whether he would perform at the White House while Trump was president.
âI would like to probably answer that question when it comes up, but Iâm a citizen, and I like to do whatâs right,â Urban said at the time, per The Hill.
Seven years later, the musician declined to endorse a presidential candidate as Trump faced off against former Vice President Kamala Harris.
âIâm often amazed that people donât look to artistsâ work â theyâre pretty clear on who they are and their views, and Iâm no different,â he told The Times in 2024.
âI play to extremely diverse audiences in every way, politically and pronoun, age groups, ethnicity,â the guitarist pointed out.
At the time, Urban was married to Nicole Kidman, who has also remained tight-lipped about politics.
The actress explained to BBC News in 2017 that she feels âreticentâ to talk about the subject because she is an âissue-basedâ voter.
The âBig Little Liesâ star, 58, and Urban made headlines in September for calling it quits after 19 years of marriage and two children together.
Kidman hinted at trouble in paradise during a recent Vogue interview when she wondered, âHow many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isnât going in that direction?â
She and Urban have yet to publicly address their breakup.
