She performed two new songs from Vie, her fourth studio album, “Gorgeous” and “Aaahhh Man.” Both showcased a darker and more experimental sound that fans hadn’t seen from her before. The stage was dimly lit, the design moody, and the focus stayed entirely on her voice. It was raw, intimate, and filled with emotion. As soon as Doja finished her set, social media lit up with reactions. Fans praised everything, from her vocals to her confidence on stage.

One fan wrote, “Both performances were polar opposites. I love the versatility, but which character am I supposed to be invested in… it’s like if Rihanna performed Loud and Talk That Talk in the same hour.” 


Another said, “Well, she's amazing, and the performance was incredible.”


Someone else added, “Doja Cat performing ‘Gorgeous’ on SNL… She doesn’t just sing; she owns the stage.” Another fan joked, “This song has gone triple dipple cripple platinum in my house, and this just made it even better.”



One added, “The thing is that Doja Cat is the performer of the decade, our versatile queen.”


While most comments were full of love, a few pointed out how spooky and cinematic the performance felt. “When I first heard this song, I was like, ‘It’s very Halloween-coded’, and with this performance, it’s definitely giving that lol,” one user said.


Several fans tried to break down Doja Cat’s look and performances, drawing creative comparisons to iconic characters. One user wrote, “Doja Cat said she gonna give Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn.” Her red, rose-covered outfit and throne reminded many of Poison Ivy, with its floral and thorny theme. Meanwhile, her second, punk-inspired look, featuring bright yellow hair and edgy styling, was compared to Harley Quinn, especially Margot Robbie’s version in Birds of Prey, known for her colorful jacket and wild stage energy.


The rose throne everyone’s talking about

Doja’s set design also caught fans’ attention, especially her rose throne. The artistic seat quickly became one of the most talked-about elements of her performance. Viewers couldn’t stop admiring it, with one commenting, “@DojaCat’s rose throne looks cool!” 

Another added, “Doja Cat looked so gorgeous with this huge Rose!” Fans are now hoping she brings the same setup to her upcoming tour.
