From Beyoncé to Post Malone, country is hot to go, so it's not all that shocking that Chappell Roan used her Saturday Night Live debut to unveil a country song, "The Giver." With a female backing band rocking Western fringe shirts, the Island breakout belted lyrics like "'Cause you ain’t gotta tell me, it’s just in my nature/ So take it like a taker/ 'Cause baby I’m a giver."
Roan also performed the gold-certified "Pink Pony Club" from her 2023 debut, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. For this one, she opted for a more ethereal aesthetic that felt like a pink fever dream.
Roan’s SNL appearance was, in a sense, 13 years in the making. Last week, she posted a screenshot of a Facebook status from April 2011 (as Kayleigh Amstutz, her given name) that read, “I am determined to be on SNL.”
Check out the clips of her SNL debut below (and a guest spot by someone who might be even more famous).
