DOJA CAT
25 • DYNAMIC
PERFORMER
BY LIL NAS X
Doja Cat is one of a kind:
a rising superstar, an elite
performer and an insanely
hilarious influencer. She
doesn’t take herself too
seriously, but you know she
puts a hell of a lot of work
into everything she does.
She goes out of her way to be
herself at all costs and that’s
what truly makes an artist.
Her 2019 album Hot Pink
was truly one of my favorites
in the last couple years—I
was hooked after hearing the
singles “Rules,” “Cyber Sex”
and “Bottom Bitch.” But the
moment I knew Doja was here
to stay was during her run
of performances in 2020. It
would have been easy for her
to give the same treatment to
every performance and award
show, but no! Over and over,
she reinvented herself, each
time better than the last.
And she kept releasing hit
songs too—from “Say So” to
her recent feature on Ariana
Grande’s “34+35” remix.
She’s an inspiration to me, and
I can’t wait to see what she
does next.
