Chappell Roan goes country in her hit single “The Giver”

Chappell Roan has gone down the country roads with her new hit single The Giver, and she’s done it in the most Chappell Roan-esque way—big, bold, and completely over the top. The Giver is her take on country rock, inspired by some of her childhood favs Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), and it’s got all the fun and theatrics you’d expect. It’s loud, cheeky, and impossible to ignore.

In an E! News interview, Roan talked about growing up in Southwest Missouri, where country music was just a part of life. She’s not fully switching genres, but it’ll always be in her blood and if this song is anything to go by, she knows exactly how to make it her own.

The track itself is pure country chaos in the best way—big guitars, twangy vocals like icon Shania Twain, and the kind of rowdy energy that makes you want to ride a mechanical bull in platform boots. But beyond just having fun with the genre, Roan is queerifying it, taking a space usually dominated by straight white men and turning it into something bolder, gayer, and way more fun.

And because this is Chappell Roan, the rollout was just as extra. The billboards? Perfectly cheeky in capturing the midwest roads with big bold in your face advertisements. The timing? Immaculate—The Giver dropped right after her first-ever Grammy appearance and pulled in over a million streams in under 24 hours.

If this is her version of country music, we need more of it.
