On September 6, 2024, National Read a Book Day was celebrated with the craziest twist because Doja Cat was there to make even the grass grow greener. Bold and innovative with her live performances, this time, Doja Cat combined her love for performance art with the joy of reading in a way only she could pull off.
Doja Cat posted a video on social media of herself spinning on a pole while reading a book. But not any ordinary book. Doja chose “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, fusing ancient military strategy with performance art. The creative act was hilarious but also served as a good way to keep people up with literacy, encouraging them to pick up a book.

National Read a Book Day reminds people of the joy and benefits of reading. It urges people to try out new genres, revisit old ones, and share their love of reading with others. Doja Cat combined that with her special way of performing and called her fans to plunge into the world of books for entertainment.
The fans went wild, commenting on Doja Cat’s weird celebration. Some thought it was hilarious and inspiring; they loved her creativity and humor. Some remarks were: “Only Doja could make reading look this cool! And She’s always finding new ways to entertain us!”. Some were surprised regarding her much-hyped book choice, finding it intriguing and very much in line with her big persona. Others were inspired by Doja’s ability to read while doing such a hard physical act and wanted to pick up a book themselves.
Doja Cat is known for her bold visual identity and creative live performances. Labeled as a “gifted technical rapper with a keen sense of melody,” her musicality often yields to aspects of internet culture and humor, quickly setting her apart in popular music. Her performances often convey theatrical qualities and blur the lines between music, fashion, and art.
Doja Cat isn’t one to shy away from weirdness and sometimes bizarre behavior: from her viral hit “Mooo!” where she donned a cow costume, to shaving off all her hair and eyebrows during her Instagram Live session, never to disappoint the public with her genius. Her alien-inspired fashion in this year’s 2021 MTV Video Music Awards and out-of-this-world humor on social media again shows her creativity in whatever she does.
Even under all her creative genius, controversies have still found their way to Doja Cat‘s desk. She has been criticized for participating in chat rooms linked to controversial groups; she has gone through several public feuds with fans. However, these moments have not outshone her ingenious ability to captivate her audience.
