The first night of Chappell Roan’s “Super Graphic Spectacular” benefit concert went down at the Shrine in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 21st, and during Roan’s headlining set, she was joined by Christina Aguilera for a performance of “Coffee.”
After Aguilera took the stage for her song “Beautiful,” the two divas joined forces for a lovely, heartfelt rendition of “Coffee,” a ballad that appears on Roan’s 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess. Roan took the first verse, immediately displaying giddy nervousness as she stood next to Aguilera but quickly pulling it together; Aguilera took the second verse, which highlighted her smoky alto and soulful approach. They met in the bridge and final chorus in harmony, and when they finished, Aguilera told a bashful Roan that she “loves this song.” Watch a fan-captured clip of Roan’s performance below.
Wednesday evening’s show also featured sets from Tinashe, Lola Young, and others. The second night of Roan’s “Super Graphic Spectacular” takes place tonight, October 22nd, with performances from Caroline Polachek, MUNA, and an additional set from Roan. All proceeds for the event will support trans youth and LGBTQ+ organizations through Roan’s The Midwest Princess Project.
