The rapper-songwriter debuts on SNL by performing two singles from her new album, Vie
Doja Cat[1] made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live[2]—the season 51 premiere—with performances of a pair of singles from her new album, Vie[3].
After an introduction from SNL[4] host Bad Bunny[5], the rapper-songwriter opened with the Jack Antonoff-produced “Aaahh Men!”
On Vie, Doja Cat’s fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s Scarlet[6], the Los Angeles native “devotes an entire album to the pop and R&B sounds of the Hair Decade, an album full of pastels and neon and mega-cheese sax solos,” as Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield wrote in a review[7]. That was reflected in the set design for “Aaahh Men!” and the attire of the six others on stage, including the two bassists for the bass-centric song.
Doja Cat’s second performance was of “Gorgeous,” one of the several tracks on Vie that incorporates the saxophone.
Last week, Doja Cat announced her 50-date Tour Ma Vie World Tour[8], which begins in New Zealand next month. She’ll begin the U.S. leg next October in Detroit, and will wrap up at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Dec. 1.
