Video Of The Day: At Long Last, Chappell Roan’s SNL Debut Of ‘The Giver’ Is Online
It was worth the wait.
Chappell Roan’s long-awaited Saturday Night Live performance of “The Giver” has finally hit the internet, and it’s just as gloriously campy as fans remember. Though the Missouri-born pop star first debuted the song on the Studio 8H stage months ago, the official video remained absent online—until now. The long-delayed share lines up with the studio release of “The Giver,” a song that has already cemented itself as another standout in her ever-growing pop arsenal.

Roan turned the stage into a whimsical, over-the-top vision of heartland nostalgia. Dressed in a Dolly Parton-meets-cartoon-cowgirl ensemble, she commanded the stage with high-drama vocals and a scenery-chewing performance that felt straight out of a glitter-drenched fever dream. The elaborate set—complete with farm animals, rustic signposts, and fairytale-like flora—painted a surreal portrait of the crossroads between her Midwest roots, her Hollywood aspirations, and the star-studded New York moment that brought them all together.
