Doja Cat Performs ‘Gorgeous,’ ‘Aaahh Men!’ on ‘SNL’ Season 51 Premiere

Doja Cat made her musical guest debut during Saturday Night Live’s season 51 premiere on Oct. 4.

Appearing alongside host Bad Bunny, the 29-year-old pop star performed two tracks from her newly released fifth album, Vie, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

After a brief introduction from Bad Bunny, Doja delivered an electrifying performance of the Jack Antonoff-produced track “Aaahh Men!” Sporting bright yellow curly hair and a bold outfit — a dark blue bodysuit paired with a black-and-red lace bra and leopard-print stockings — she brought vibrant energy to the stage. The performance was set against a 1980s-inspired neon backdrop, complete with a black-and-white checkered floor.

Doja returned later in the show for a more subdued performance of “Gorgeous,” where she casually delivered the moody track from a sparkling rose-shaped throne. Wearing a complementary flowery red dress and a long-haired wig, she passionately belted out the Vie song with the support of a full backing band as rose petals gently fell onto the stage like raindrops.

Doja’s 15-track project Vie was released on Sept. 26 and features one collaboration with her “Kiss Me More” collaborator SZA. The set also includes lead single “Jealous Type,” which Doja performed at the 2025 VMAs alongside celebrated saxophonist Kenny G. Doja has described the album as more pop-leaning compared to her 2023 rap-heavy album, Scarlet, focusing on themes of love, romance, and sex.

Following the release of Vie, she will embark on her Ma Vie World Tour.

SNL’s upcoming lineup includes show veteran Amy Poehler hosting the Oct. 11 episode with first-time musical guest Role Model, and Sabrina Carpenter pulling double duty as both host and musical guest on Oct. 18.
