The singer-rapper went all in for a spectacle that featured a giant T. Rex skeleton and an actual mud pit.
Doja Cat performs during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club on Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Indio, Calif. Talk that the three headliners for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival weren’t big enough to fill the main stage was always just sour grapes that your preferred pick didn’t get the nod.delivered with a show that made her moody music for sad boys and girls feel plenty big to close out Friday.
At 28, Doja Cat has disavowed some of her earlier, poppier albums and songs, and here skipped playing such songs as “Say So,” a No. 1 hit with Nikki Minaj, and “Kiss Me More,” a collaboration with SZA that peaked at No. 3. Her choreography was fierce throughout the night. On “Ouchies,” her male and female dancers pushed and shoved each other as they moved around the stage in a mock street fight. For “Attention,” two stage-wide platforms lifted mysterious dark-cloaked figures above the stage, where they swooped and swirled as Doja sang.
As Doja started to sing “WYM Freestyle,” a giant T. Rex skeletal head emerged from the wings. And continued to emerge until it was revealed as a more or less life-sized dinosaur skeleton, which, propelled by a dark-clad crew beneath it, pursued her slowly out the ramp into the audience. The song is just over three minutes, but for Coachella the singer wanted a T. Rex and she got a T. Rex.
