Keith Urban performs unlikely pop hit at private Mar-a-Lago event attended by President Trump

Keith Urban belted out some surprising hits as he gave a private performance at a Mar-a-Lago party attended by Donald Trump over the weekend. 

Urban, 58, and Trump, 79, both attended Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt's private party.

Snippets of his performance have been shared on social media by guests, featuring him singing out the Bob Marley classic This Is Love, and an unlikely pop banger.

At one point during the night, Urban belted out the Chappell Roan hit, Pink Pony Club. 

During the event Trump was also spotted sitting next to Pratt. 

Urban has received a mixed response from fans for the private show, with some celebrating the link to Trump, while others not impressed by it.

Despite the pop hit feeling like a far cry from Urban's usual country repertoire, he's been playing it at some of his recent concerts. 

The song was inspired by The Abbey, a famous gay bar in West Hollywood and the first time he heard it, things got emotional.

He previously said on the Canadian web series Intimate and Interactive that he "almost cried" when he heard the song, according to Them.

"Who doesn't wanna find a safe place, wherever that is? You just wanna find your people — doesn't matter what that is, just somewhere where you finally realise you belong there," Urban said.

"God, that speaks to me."

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.

"I would like to probably answer that question when it comes up, but I'm a citizen, and I like to do what's right," Urban said at the time, per The Hill.

The private performance from Urban comes amid his High and Alive World Tour.

The country star has dominated headlines in recent months, after the bombshell news that he and Nicole Kidman were ending their 19-year marriage.

In late September, news broke that they had split, and a day later Kidman filed for divorce.
