Memes erupt as Chappell Roan announces her new single, The Giver, drops on March 13

Chappell Roan has finally answered fans' prayers (or ignored their passive-aggressive comments) by officially announcing the release of her new single, The Giver, dropping on March 13th. After what felt like an eternity of teasing, hinting, and cryptic social media posts, the pop star is ready to let the world hear what she’s been working on.

But while some fans are celebrating, others are… well, not. Instead of the usual flood of heart emojis and excited countdowns, Roan’s announcement was met with a wave of memes, sarcasm, and a general sense of "Okay, and?" energy. Turns out the internet has been waiting so long for this song that some people have moved on to the acceptance stage of grief.

Chappell Roan’s Post Sparks Viral Fan Reactions

The announcement post itself was simple: Chappell Roan confirming that The Giver is finally on its way. No dramatic buildup, no overly cinematic teaser, just a straight-up release date. But instead of unanimous excitement, the comment section quickly turned into a comedy show.

Fans who had been strung along for what felt like an entire presidential term decided this was the perfect time to let out all their pent-up emotions. Some were simply exhausted from the wait, others were convinced they had already heard this song in a past life, and a few just took the opportunity to be hilariously dramatic. Before long, the memes started rolling in, and suddenly, Chappell Roan’s new single wasn’t just trending for its release; it was trending for how people were reacting to it.

One fan summed up the general vibe with a blunt: “Girl, we waited ages… we don’t care anymore.”

A little harsh? Maybe. But fair? Also yes. The hype cycle had apparently stretched beyond its limits, and patience had officially expired.

Then there were the conspiracy theorists, the ones who swore Roan had been teasing The Giver for so long that it might as well be a historical artifact. “Hasn’t she been teasing this for literal months now…?” one person wrote as if we were all in a social experiment to see how long fans could hold on before collectively losing it.

Some took a more savage approach, referencing the infamous Best New Artist (BNA) curse, implying that Chappell Roan might soon face the same fate as other artists who won big but disappeared shortly after. “Patiently waiting on the BNA curse to kick in,” someone wrote, with the kind of energy that suggests they’re watching this unfold with popcorn in hand.

Of course, no internet reaction is complete without a classic “We do not care.” Simple, effective, and delivered with the same energy as a parent tuning out their kid’s 45-minute story about Minecraft.

Then came the GIF of a man aggressively puking (because The Giver announcement was just that overwhelming, apparently)

Someone looking utterly confused, captioned, “Who the hell is this?” Just in case Roan thought she had universal recognition, the internet was quick to humble her.

And perhaps the most random yet strangely accurate reaction: “Can’t lie, thought this was Philomena Cunk at first glance.” To be fair, the resemblance is kind of uncanny.

Despite the internet’s best efforts to roast this announcement into oblivion, the fact remains: The Giver is finally arriving on March 13th. Will it be worth the wait? Only time will tell. But if nothing else, Chappell Roan has solid proof that her fans do care, just in the most chaotic, slightly unhinged way possible.

Whether people are hyped, exhausted, or just here for the memes, one thing’s for sure: the internet never disappoints. And neither, hopefully, will The Giver.
