Chappell Roan is your favorite knight in shining armor's favorite knight in shining armor.
On Wednesday, Sept. 11, the pop star, 26, performed her hit single "Good Luck, Babe!" at the 2024 MTV VMAs, which took place at New York’s UBS Arena.
Before launching into her set, Roan — who features drag performers as her opening acts on tour — was introduced by RuPaul's Drag Race alum Sasha Colby. The "Naked in Manhattan" artist sported a suit of armor, seemingly inspired by Joan of Arc, while she sang the hit track.
At the start of her performance, Roan appeared behind bars in a medieval castle with a crossbow in hand. The "My Kink Is Karma" singer was then set free and joined by several male dancers dressed in armor who engaged in dance and fictional fight scenes.

In addition to Roan, performers at this year's VMAs include Katy Perry, Anitta, Karol G, Shawn Mendes, Eminem, Sabrina Carpenter, Camila Cabello, GloRilla, Rauw Alejandro, Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, Lisa, Megan Thee Stallion and Benson Boone.
This year marks the first-ever awards show stage appearance at the VMAs for the “Casual” singer, who had record-breaking turnouts at Lollapalooza and Governor’s Ball earlier this summer.
At the 2024 VMAs, Roan earned nominations for best new artist, MTV Push performance of the year for "Red Wine Supernova," song of summer for "Good Luck, Babe!" and best trending video for "Hot to Go!"
Last month, Roan made a surprise appearance alongside Olivia Rodrigo during her Guts World Tour concert at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
Together, the pair performed a surprise duet of Roan's "Hot to Go!" Before they launched into the song, the "Vampire" artist, 21, gave a sweet introduction.
“I think she is one of the most singular, inspiring, powerful artists I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I’m so excited because she’s gonna sing one of my favorite songs of all time,” Rodrigo said.
In fan-captured footage, the pop stars then launched into "Hot to Go!" while they jumped onstage and performed the song's signature dance moves.
The 2024 MTV VMAs air on Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/ PT live from the UBS Arena in New York.
