Chappell Roan debuted a new country song, ‘The Giver’ on Saturday Night Live.Ahead of her musical guest spot last night (November 2), she took to Instagram to share a Facebook post of hers from 2011, where she shared her hopes of one day being on the show, saying: “I am determined to be on SNL.”She performed ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’ track ‘Pink Pony Club’, and then surprised fans by debuting the new song.Joined by a fiddler, she sang: “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 / Ain’t no need to help me, ’cause baby I deliver… ain’t no country boy quitter / I get the job done” on its chorus.Then, during the song’s bridge, she says to the audience: “All you country boys saying you know how to treat a woman right.

Well, only a woman knows how to treat a woman right.”Back in July, producer Dan Nigro told The New York Times fans could expect a “fun, up-tempo country song” that featured a fiddle, and said it would show “a new version” of the ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ singer.‘The Giver’ is already being dubbed a “lesbian anthem” for it’s celebratory take on topping. “I just get so emotional thinking about how we finally have queer figures in pop culture that are able to SCREAM about how queer they are,” reflected one fan underneath a clip of the performance.“No innuendos, no theorising, no vague lyrics to avoid controversy; she’s screaming it from the rooftops and not allowing any way around it.

No room for interpretation, just Chappell screaming “only a woman knows how to treat a woman right” live on SNL. We’ve come so far guys,” one fan wrote.
