OB-electrician help

So this morning I went to turn the lights on my ceiling fan on and they popped, like when a bulb blows. The thing was all three of them were out. I went to the switch and flipped it off and back on and nothing. I went and got a new ceiling fan, hooked it up and still nothing. Should I try and change the switch next? Any help would be appreciated.
Eta...no thrown breakers, all other outlets and switches are working.

What do the wires look like in the ceiling box and how many switches?

Blown breaker.
Do you have a voltmeter did you check to see if wires at fan were hot?

You need a meter to check it. Sounds like you might have smoked the switch.

Definitely need a meter to check it. Doesn't sound like you are getting anything to your fan

I would bet money it's a switch.... Those switches that are in houses are cheap pieces of shite that are always going out
