Doja Cat reflected on her performance at the 2025 Oscars in a candid Instagram post on Monday (March 3). The 29-year-old musician took part in the James Bond tribute during the ceremony, singing the iconic tune, “Diamonds Are Forever,” which was originally made famous by Shirley Bassey. Doja addressed the online criticism surrounding her performance, while expressing gratitude to the Academy Awards for the opportunity. “I never get to sing like that and what I did was brave and scary as f**k for me,” she wrote. “I know a lot of people didn’t like it but a lot of people did and I feel good that I pushed myself. But the nerves got to me and a b**ch hit some flats. I can’t wait to do something like that again.” No matter what you think of her vocals, Doja looked incredible during her performance, wearing a custom-made ensemble by her longtime creative director, Brett Alan Nelson, which featured over one million Swarovski crystals.
