The Swamp Princess is now the Swamp Professor. Class is in session on Doechii’s new Live From the Swamp Tour, which kicked off with a sold-out show in Chicago on October 14. During the Grammy winner’s setlist, which was split into four “lessons,” she danced on desks for fans and generally schooled the crowd in what a good live performance looks like. From remixing Charli XCX to dancing with her sisters to selling her own lightstick, here are all the highlights from opening night.
She got bratty.
Doechii remixed her song “Persuasive” with Charli XCX’s “360.” Naturally, the stage lights turned brat green.
She gave a master class in fan interactions.
At one point, Doechii’s preppy aesthetic extended to a schoolroom set that a select number of fans were brought onstage to be part of — and one lucky scholar at a moving desk received a nearly 30-second lap dance.

She flexed her breath control.
You can only start rapping “Nissan Altima” in a pose like this and then deliver choreo in heels if you’re really confident in your lungs.
Her setlist was full of new and old hits.
According to setlist.fm, the full setlist in Chicago was as follows:
“STANKA POOH”
“BULLFROG”
“BOILED PEANUTS”
“NISSAN ALTIMA”
“America Has a Problem”
“ExtraL”
“Alter Ego” (mixed with an instrumental snippet of Crystal Waters’s “Gypsy Woman”)
“Persuasive” (mixed with a snippet of Charli XCX’s “360”)
“SLIDE”
“Spookie Coochie”
“Nosebleeds”
“Crazy”
“Stressed”
“DEATH ROLL”
“BOOM BAP”
“Anxiety”
“GTFO”
“CATFISH”
“Swamp Bitches”
“DENIAL IS A RIVER”
“Balloon”
“WAIT” (with elements of “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson)
“FIREFLIES” (instrumental)
For her encore, she also performed “BEVERLY HILLS” and shortened versions of “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” and “Pacer.” Are those the only lyrics fans will need to study up on? We’ll have to wait and see whether she’ll stick to this syllabus of songs for the rest of the dates on the tour.
