Where Is Parking Near Crypto.com Arena For Doja Cat’s ‘The Scarlet Tour’

Doja Cat’s Scarlet Tour kicks off tonight in San Francisco and then, just days later, heads to her hometown, Los Angeles for a show at Staples Cen– Crypto.com Arena (groan). Downtown LA can be a madhouse at the best of times, so when one of the biggest stars in music comes to town, you know that getting to the arena — and parking near there — is going to be A LOT. Fortunately, we’ve got a handy guide for finding parking near Crypto.com Arena for Doja Cat’s Scarlet Tour show when it arrives.

First things first, you can head over to cryptoarena.com for an interactive parking map which presents the lots on Chick Hearn Court, L.A. Live Way, South Flower Street, and West Olympic Boulevard. Each of these lots is an official lot connected to Crypto.com Arena itself, but there are also plenty of independent lots in the downtown area within walking distance of the arena.

In fact, DTLA’s official website also has an interactive parking map of these lots, along with their respective prices. There are even a few on the other side of the 110 that only charge five bucks. Then, of course, there’s street parking, which is hard — but, from personal experience, not impossible — to find in the downtown area. Take advantage of this info to make sure you show up on time for both Doja and her opener, Doechii, who is also worth checking out (again, from personal experience) and have time to grab some of the tour’s merch, as well.

Here Is The Exclusive Merch Doja Cat And Amazon Music Made For ‘The Scarlet Tour’

After months of waiting, Doja Cat’s The Scarlet Tour will launch Tuesday, October 31. The “Paint The Town Red” rapper’s performances at the 2023 VMAs gave fans a taste of what they should expect when she stops at a nearby city. Ahead of the launch date, Doja has teamed up with Amazon Music for an exclusive merch drop made for the tour.

The company revealed the partnership earlier Monday. The line features several clothing items, including a hooded sweatshirt, t-shirt, crop top, sweatpants, socks, hats, and more in varying colors. With the expectation of the hoodie, none of the pieces in the Amazon Music drop will be made available on-site during Doja’s tour stops. The company revealed that a separate collection will be accessible in person at each venue.

Doja’s finalized Scarlet album cover is one of the central visual elements. But in typical Doja nature, she wanted to spice things up by adding a layer of humor, with one of the pieces of merch features imagery poking fun at online claims that she’s a member of the Illuminati.

The Doja Cat and Amazon Music merch for The Scarlet Tour is available for purchase now. Prices range from $25 to $120. Find more information here. Preview the line below.

Taylor Swift Is Once Again No. 1 On The ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 And ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ Hasn’t Even Hit The Charts Yet

Every Monday, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated November 4, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Gunna — “F*kumean”

This week’s top-10 songs are mostly the same as last week but shuffled around some, except for “F*kumean,” the only top-10 song that wasn’t in the region last week. The song, which previously peaked at No. 4, wasn’t far off, though, as it was No. 11 in last week’s ranks.

9. Bad Bunny — “Monaco”

Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana single was the biggest chart debut last week, entering the chart at No. 5. This week, though, it’s nearly out of the top 10.

8. Drake — “IDGAF” Feat. Yeat

“IDGAF” had a big opening week at No. 2 a couple weeks ago, but it’s been gradually working its way down the Hot 100 after falling to No. 4 this week and now No. 8 this frame.

7. Morgan Wallen — “Thinkin’ Bout Me”

This Wallen song and the next one on this list at No. 6 continue their massive climbs over the past couple weeks: “Thinkin’ Bout Me” rose from No. 25 to No. 10 and now to No. 7, a return sparked by Drake’s For All The Dogs songs leaving the top 10.

6. Morgan Wallen — “Last Night”

Similarly, “Last Night,” a former No. 1, rose from No. 19 to No. 9 and now it’s flirting with re-entering the top 5 at No. 6.

5. Luke Combs — “Fast Car”

2023 has been good to Tracy Chapman: She owns both the writer’s and publisher’s share of her song “Fast Car,” so Combs’ successful cover has been lining her pockets for the past few months.

4. Zach Bryan — “I Remember Everything” Feat. Kacey Musgraves

“I Remember Everything” continues to be a multi-genre hit, as it’s No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Rock Songs charts for an ninth week and the Hot Country Songs chart for a fifth time.

3. SZA — “Snooze”

“Snooze” hasn’t quite hit No. 1, but it’s been dominating the Hot R&B Songs chart, where it’s No. 1 for the 13th week.

2. Doja Cat — “Paint The Town Red”

“Paint The Town Red” is perhaps Doja Cat’s biggest hit of her career, as it’s her only song to spend more than one week at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Even this week, it’s still thriving at No. 2.

1. Taylor Swift — “Cruel Summer”

1989 (Taylor’s Version) is only a few days old so it hasn’t hit the charts yet, but Swift didn’t need it to claim No. 1 this week thanks to “Cruel Summer.” It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on the Hot 100 next week, though: On release day, the album’s songs occupied the top 21 spots of the daily Spotify songs chart for the US, and subsequent daily charts have been pretty much the same story.

Here Are The Openers For Doja Cat’s ‘The Scarlet Tour’

This week, Doja Cat begins the tour for her fourth studio album, Scarlet. The Scarlet Tour kicks off in San Francisco on Halloween, then runs through December 13 in Chicago.

Doja will be supported by two artists on the tour: Doechii and Ice Spice. You can learn more about them below.

Who Is Opening Doja Cat’s The Scarlet Tour?

Doechii

Tampa, Florida rapper Doechii is, like Doja Cat, as talented at slinging witty bars as she is at breaking genre conventions and transgressing societal ones. She first broke out in 2021 with her viral single “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,” signing to Top Dawg Entertainment (the former label home of Kendrick Lamar), and embarking on a one-woman quest to completely upset the status quo of rap. After a breakout performance on labelmate Isaiah Rashad’s “Wat U Sed,” she was partnered with Capitol Records and took a hard left turn with the house-influenced “Persuasive.” A later single, “Crazy,” combated the sexualization of women in pop culture, then her debut EP She / Her / Black Bitch continued challenging misogyny and anti-Blackness in culture. She’s working on her debut full-length album now.

Ice Spice

Like Doechii, Ice Spice owes her notoriety to TikTok. Her single “Munch (Feelin’ U)” was a viral sensation, sparking a new slang term and making Ice Spice an instantly recognizable face to the under-thirty set with her orphan Annie orange curls and ample lower-body proportions. With a flow like a female Pop Smoke, her drill rap takes on “Bikini Bottom” and “In Ha Mood” continued driving her success until the PinkPantheress collaboration “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2” gave her her highest-charting single. She released her debut EP, Like…? in 2023. She’s since collaborated multiple times with Nicki Minaj (“Princess Diana,” “Barbie World”), as well as with Taylor Swift (“Karma”), building anticipation for her full-length debut.

Here Are Some Last-Minute, Music-Themed Halloween Costume Ideas For Your Spooky Season

The blinged-out crown of Christmas undoubtedly belongs to Mariah Carey. However, when it comes to Halloween, no one does it quite like Heidi Klum. If you don’t believe us, take a look at her over-the-top worm get-up last year. Due to the holiday’s placement in the week, many folks, including some of your favorite entertainers, will roll out their festive wardrobes over the weekend. Yesterday (October 26), Uproxx cover star Chlöe took to social media to share her Game Of Thrones-inspired look with her followers.

But if you don’t have time to sit in a special effects chair for hours on end or shop for extravagant pieces, here are some last-minute, music-themed costume ideas for your spooky season celebrations.

Bad Bunny

From his debut appearance on Saturday Night Live to his latest album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana, Bad Bunny has been on the lips of everyone, including his rumored boo Kendall Jenner. Pulling off a Bad Bunny costume is simple enough and can work in several instances. If you have tinted sunglasses, light-washed jeans (or overalls), and a plain white tee, you’re ready to do.

Beyoncé

You won’t break your soul, but you might break the bank if you plan to dress up as Beyoncé for Halloween. The “Cozy” singer also works as a solo concept, couple creation, or as a family function. We’ve outlined some tips for mirroring Beyoncé’s style here, but as a few additional tips, upcycling is key.

Billie Eilish

Just as Armani White rapped on his viral song, Billie Eilish’s style is quite simple. In other words, the baggier, the better. The key to Eilish’s style is to look and feel effortlessly casual and comfortable. Everything oversized is the goal. So, large jeans and graphics tees are your friend for Halloween.

Drake

Drake’s peers may struggle with obtaining his level of commercial success within rap, but his fashion sensibilities are entirely different. We have created a guide for you to view here to get a visual sense of the “Slime You Out” rapper. But to provide you with options, similar to Billie Eilish, Drake is an avid lover of athleisure wear. Any workout gear you have to spare could work just fine.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has broken countless records this year thanks to her The Eras Tour. The “Cruel Summer” will surely be one of the most popular music-theme costumes this year, and who can blame anyone? Our guide here outlines some key pointers, but instead of focusing on the beautiful gowns she wears on stage, think more about her street style, which features tons of leather skirts, jeans, graphic tees, flannels, and more.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Here’s The Meaning Behind Doja Cat’s ‘Agora Hills’

Doja Cat made “Agora Hills” one of the singles from her recent album, Scarlet. In the song, she discusses her romantic feelings for a lover and how she just wants to show them off. Doja also rejects any outside thoughts because of how well she’s being treated.

And while she hasn’t spoken directly about the song’s meaning, her lyrics still make the intentions quite clear.

“Be my security, it’s your therapy / With you, I ain’t holding sh*t back / When I need my space, you give that / When he broke my heart, you fixed that,” she says. “With a long walk on the beach / Love it when they honk-honk on the street (beep) / When they see us zoom by in the Jeep (yeah) / We a whole damn joint, we a energy.”

Still, fans on Reddit’s Doja Cat subreddit were left wondering about the meaning behind the video, as one poster felt it didn’t quite connect to building an album narrative like “Paint The Town Red” and “Demons” did.

Commenters responded with their own interpretations of her “Agora Hills” visual, with one suggesting she was being “reborn” as “the new Doja” and another wondering if it references an anime.

Check out “Agora Hills” above to decide for yourself.

Usher Serenaded Doja Cat During His Latest Las Vegas Residency Show As An Early Birthday Gift To The Rapper

When Usher urged men not to leave their ladies around him, he wasn’t joking. His Usher: My Way Las Vegas residency has shown that he remains one of R&B’s most notorious ladies’ men. During his shows, he selects a special lady from the crowd as he sings his 2010 song “There Goes My Baby.” In the past, Keke Palmer, Saweetie, Winnie Harlow, Kimora Lee Simmons, Kim Kardashian, and Issa Rae were chosen to share that intimate movement.

On Friday, October 20, Doja Cat became the latest celebrity to be serenaded by Usher. As an early birthday gift to her, Usher spotted her out of the crowd and made a beeline straight towards her. In video shared by a concertgoer, it appears that even though Doja was seated next to her rumored boyfriend, J. Cyrus, she didn’t hold back.

At first, Doja played coy to Usher’s advances, but as the crowd cheered her on, she went full-in. She eventually stood up to dance along with Usher as she sang the lyrics to the song.

Usher’s residency is slated to end soon, surely there will be more celebrity serenades.

Watch the video below.

Doechii Twerking To Doja Cat’s “Wet Va**na” Will Have You Ready To Catch Them On Tour

The rollout for Doja Cat’s Scarlet album was anything but smooth. As you may recall, she initially announced the LP would be called Hellmouth, only for her to change her mind while trolling fans with dozens of other unreliable updates. Eventually, the featureless project landed on DSPs, and to much praise. “Paint The Town Red” and “Balut” both landed as singles, but in the time since, several other titles have emerged as favourites, such as “Wet Vagina.” The boldly-named track is about the Kardashian family and their “pretty, plastic” faces, but still provides a beat that’s perfect for twerking too, as shown by Doja’s upcoming tour mate, Doechii.

Over this past weekend, the “Stressed” vocalist posted a video on TikTok and other platforms that shows her stacked backside bouncing along to the Planet Her hitmaker’s new LP. It didn’t take long for thirsty comments to begin pouring in, many from fans who are eager to see Doechii twerk in person while opening for Doja. It appears that her viral video was taken during a creative meeting or dance rehearsal. Either way, it’s clear she’s working hard before hitting the road.

Doechii Loves Doja Cat’s New Album

While she certainly looks good dancing along to other artists’ music, the Swamp Princess has been on a roll with her own releases this year. The latest we’ve heard from Doechii is “Pacer,” which comes after other singles like “Booty Drop,” “What It Is,” and “Universal Swamp Anthem,” just to name a few.
