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.
