Doja Cat gave Toronto something to talk about last night after leaving a mark on the city following a power-packed performance courtesy of “The Scarlet Tour.”
The 28-year-old Grammy award-winning singer and rapper, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, is currently on her second tour and her first-ever debut arena tour in support of her fourth studio album, Scarlet.
The city was in for a great time as Doja Cat hit concertgoers with hit after hit, pun very much intended.
And she didn’t come empty handed. In fact, Ice Spice opened up for her and got the crowd on its feet.
And she didn’t disappoint either, with big tracks including “Munch,” “Boy’s a liar,” and “In Ha Mood.”
Doja Cat’s crowd favourite songs of the night included “Tia Tamera,” “Agora Hills,” “Attention,” “Woman,” and “Say So.”
The L.A native, who began releasing music on SoundCloud as a teenager, is rightfully one of the most sought-after artists of our generation after rising to fame seemingly overnight with the release of her song “Mooo!” which became a viral meme and put the artist on the map, for better or worse.
Since then, she has been working tirelessly for the past five years to cement her place amongst heavy hitters who are easily by now considered her peers and equals in the music industry.
And in a full circle moment, her most popular latest body of work, “Paint The Town Red,” is among 2023’s top influential songs, according to TikTok trends.
She’s a well-rounded artist who many consider a triple threat thanks to her melodic singing, powerful rapping and incredible dancing abilities, like her full on choreography during her show (at times reminiscent of Janet Jackson), which she wasn’t shy to show off to a city that knows how to get down.
Overall, the show had a lot of layers to it, from massive spider and eyeball props to using real fire and fireworks, there was something to see from start to finish.
