Chappell Roan Debuts New Country Lesbian Anthem “The Giver” on SNL

Chappell Roan wants to be, “The Giver” according to her latest single.

The 26-year-old rising star was the musical guest on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live opposite John Mulaney, 42, who was on hosting duties. After performing her viral hit “Pink Pony Club,” Roan premiered a new country lesbian anthem titled “The Giver” for her second performance.

On “The Giver,” Roan says to give her a call “when you need the job done” before singing, “‘Cause you ain’t got to tell me / It’s just in my nature / So take it like a taker / ‘Cause, baby, I’m a giver.”

Just when you thought the lyrics were ambiguous enough to be applicable to anyone, Roan proclaims before the final chorus, “All you country boys saying you know how to treat a woman right? Well, only a woman knows how to treat a woman right!”

The pop singer hasn’t announced when “The Giver” will be officially released, but the track may be part of Roan’s upcoming second studio album, which she teased on her Instagram account last week.

“Album kinda popped off imo but it is time to welcome a hot new bombshell into the villa,” Roan wrote on Instagram on Tuesday for the caption of a photo of herself holding a copy of her 2023 debut album, The Rise And Fall of A Midwest Princess.

Roan, born Kayleigh Amstutz, experienced her commercial breakthrough in 2024 with songs like “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Hot To Go” going viral on TikTok.

Her daylight, non-headlining performance at this year’s Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago drew a massive and unprecedented crowd to Grant Park. Although an official number of spectatorswas not reported, Lolla’s organizers believe Roan’s set may have been the biggest daytime crowd in the festival’s history.

The singer has seen similar success over this past year’s festival circuit with sets at Coachella, Boston Calling, and New York City’s Governor’s Ball seeing similarly massive crowds.
