"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 made it a family show. Doechii's twin younger sisters (and "Anxiety" music-video co-stars) made their debut as her backup dancers at the Chicago show, her team confirmed in a press release.

"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. She got the Beyhive buzzing. Doechii performed her freestyle to Beyoncé's "America Has a Problem" and interpolated a snippet of "Blow" before performing "Slide." She sold her own lightstick. It's not just for K-pop idols anymore. Fans had the opportunity to buy an alligator-themed lightstick to cheer Doechii on during this tour. Photocards next, please?"
Doechii opened the Live From the Swamp Tour with a sold-out Chicago show on October 14, structuring her setlist into four "lessons" and delivering theatrical, high-energy performance moments. She remixed her song "Persuasive" with Charli XCX's "360," incorporated a schoolroom set that brought fans onstage and included a nearly 30-second lap dance for one fan, and debuted her twin younger sisters as backup dancers. She showcased strong breath control while rapping and executing choreography in heels, interpolated Beyoncé elements during a freestyle, and offered an alligator-themed lightstick for fans to purchase.
