Doja Cat made her musical guest debut on Saturday Night Live—the season 51 premiere—with performances of a pair of singles from her new album, Vie.
After an introduction from SNL host Bad Bunny, the rapper-songwriter opened with the Jack Antonoff-produced “Aaahh Men!”
On Vie, Doja Cat’s fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s Scarlet, the Los Angeles native “devotes an entire album to the pop and R&B sounds of the Hair Decade, an album full of pastels and neon and mega-cheese sax solos,” as Rolling Stone‘s Rob Sheffield wrote in a review. That was reflected in the set design for “Aaahh Men!” and the attire of the six others on stage, including the two bassists for the bass-centric song.
