"Look at me, look at me, you lookin'?" This lyric from Doja Cat’s hit song "Attention" perfectly captures her quick, and well-deserved, rise to popstar status. All eyes are on Doja Cat, and how could they not be? With 63.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, she has solidified her place as a true pioneer in the music world and a modern music legend.

Chart-toppers like "Woman", "Kiss Me More", and "Paint the Town Red" have helped establish Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini — better known as Doja Cat — as one of the most sensational pop stars in the world. After releasing her debut album Amala in 2018, she garnered widespread attention, particularly with standout tracks like "Candy" and the viral hit "Mooo!". Both songs found massive success on platforms like TikTok and highlighted her humorous, carefree style that instantly hooked listeners. 

Doja Cat didn’t bat an eye after the massive success of her debut album, continuing to produce one hit after another. The following year, Doja Cat released her second album, Hot Pink, featuring popular tracks like "Say So" which fans loved and immediately became a classic. She later followed up with Planet Her and Scarlet, both of which were released with deluxe editions.

On September 26, Doja Cat released her latest album, Vie, which features 15 tracks of masterful lyricism and fun ‘80s synth-pop beats, showcasing her authentic, creative self in a way listeners have never seen before. Blending serious themes of romance and the complexities of navigating relationships with her signature playful tone, the album stays true to Doja Cat’s distinctive style while still giving audiences something fresh and unexpected.

Doja Cat, who often collaborates with other artists like The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, features SZA on the new track "Take Me Dancing" from Vie, marking another epic team-up between the two.

Aside from being a skilled singer, rapper, songwriter, and producer, Doja Cat has also forged a reputation for being one of the funniest celebrities on social media. She stays active on TikTok, regularly posting videos, going on lives, and collabing with other creators. She has even gone viral on multiple occasions.

One of her most notable and iconic outfits to date is her 2023 Met Gala look, where she wore 30,000 red crystals from head to toe.
