As part of the 20th anniversary of Rock in Rio Lisboa—the European offshoot of Brazil's iconic festival, debuting at the new Tejo Park with views of the river and Vasco da Gama Bridge—Doja Cat, a Grammy winner for rap-pop innovation with albums like Scarlet, capped the event with a dizzying set, affirming her "queen of pop" status per DIY Magazine. Her performance, laden with industrial sets and vibrant dances, began with "ACKNOWLEDGE ME" and "Shutcho," ramping up via "Demons" with demonic flair and "Tia Tamera," blending freestyle with fierce beats, peaking in the raw "Ain’t Shit" screeching climax and "Paint the Town Red" amid cheers from a 200,000-strong crowd. Reviewers hailed her as a "star born for the spotlight," spotlighting allure in "Agora Hills" and "WYM Freestyle," though some attendees griped about a shortened lineup due to time constraints; the gig marked a triumph post her Coachella headline, bolstering her diversification of a rock-leaning festival.
