Doja Cat Gets Provocative at Coachella With Mud Dancing, Dinosaurs, Yetis, 21 Savage and a Determination to Avoid the Oldies


Doja Cat closed Coachella with a show full of memorable setpieces—including a choreographed mudpit climax—and heavy on 'Scarlet' rap, not pop hits.

Doja Cat has rarely turned in an uninteresting or unprovocative performance, and her headlining set Sunday night at Coachella offered a plethora of looks and concepts designed to prompt delight and debate among the viewing audience. That absence of hits was a minus for many viewers weighing in in the festival’s livestream chat room, but there were just as many fans clamoring to offer accolades for Doja Cat’s riskier — and friskier — vision for the first weekend’s closing performance. Rocky’s costuming looked close enough to what he’d worn in also making a guest appearance with the previous night’s headliner, Tyler, the Creator, that some viewers wondered if he’d just slept in his flamboyant clothes.
