Chappell Roan debuts lesbian country song 'The Giver' on 'Saturday Night Live'
Chappell Roan went from the “Pink Pony Club” to the country club on “Saturday Night Live,” surprising fans with the new song song "The Giver."
Her kink is … country?
Chappell Roan went from the “Pink Pony Club” to the country club on “Saturday Night Live,” surprising fans by going country in both look and sound for her second number of the show, the premiere of a brand new song, “The Giver,” that marries C&W with LGBTQ.
“I get the job done,” Roan sang in the refrain of the new song, which shares a theme with “Femininomenon” in making the argument that pleasing a woman is sometimes (or always?) a job best left to a fellow woman.
“All you country boys saying you know how to threat a woman right,” Roan said during a spoken word aside in the song — “Well, only a woman knows how to treat a woman right. She gets the job done.”
For this second appearance late in the show, Roan was still wearing the large red wig with white streaks that marked her initial look when she earlier performed her signature song “Pink Pony Club.” Apart from that, everything was different, all the way to Roan’s background singers and all-female band having switched to old-school denim and Western-wear shirts, while Roan reappeared in a gingham-style halter top, short-shorts and boots that almost could have been right out of “The Dukes of Hazzard.”
