Doechii scores Grammy for “Anxiety,” where unease meets careful choreography

Doechii picks up a Grammy for Best Music Video with “Anxiety,” a viscerally stylized visual helmed by director James Mackel. The short blends psychological unease with striking composition, creating a layered tableau of inner turmoil rendered through movement, color, and tightly framed claustrophobia.

Carefully measured in tone and pace, the video resists spectacle in favor of controlled disruption. Mackel’s lens lingers uncomfortably, offering a fractured mirror to Doechii’s lyrical confessions.

Doechii slides into spectacle—literally—mid-song at Madison Square Garden

Mid-performance at Madison Square Garden, Doechii finds herself blending theatrics with near-slapstick as she tumbles down a slide in lingerie. It happens during her rendition of “Denial Is a River," a moment that turns spectacle when her entrance goes from poised to prone.

The unexpected spill adds an unpolished flourish to her otherwise curated set, branding the show with a dose of live-show unpredictability that crowds simultaneously gasp at and film.

Doechii ghosts three Euro fests, lingers on ticket sites like a forgotten promise

Doechii vanishes from the lineups of three European festivals—All Points East, Forwards, and Rock en Seine—without public explanation. Her name lingers on ticketing pages, suggesting disarray rather than a coordinated decision.

Festival promoters scramble to express muted regret, praising her talent without shedding light on her absence. Fans, some mid-flight or en route, find themselves stranded in speculation. Tour tickets for October’s “Live from the Swamp” sold out quickly, intensifying the confusion.
