The rising pop star had her skin painted green and her eyes covered in dark paint.
She strutted across the stage in a sparkly Statue of Liberty costume and wore plaid gloves.
The My Kink Is Karma singer dedicated her hit track to the White House.
“In response to the White House asking me to perform at Pride [Month],” she said into the microphone.
“We want freedom, justice and liberty for all.”
“When you do, that’s when I’ll go,” Chappell concluded.
Later, before playing Hot to Go, the singer explained her costume choice.
“But in case you have forgotten what is engraved on my pretty little toes: ‘Give me your tiredness, you poor thing; their huddled masses yearning to breathe free,’” she quoted, referring to a portion of the poem written on the statue’s pedestal.
“It means freedom and trans rights, it means freedom and women’s rights, and it especially means freedom for all oppressed people, for all oppressed people in the occupied territories.”
A representative for the star confirmed Variety that the White House contacted her through her administration, but she refused the President’s House.
