The new light stick features a white handle with the artist's name "DOECHII" printed in green. It has been placed near the base. The handle comes with a button that likely controls the light modes.

At the top, there is a globe-shaped dome, which is transparent and encases a silhouette of a crocodile. It is a nod to Doechii's "Swamp Princess" aesthetic. The rapper introduced the merchandise ahead of her North American and international tour stops.

Internet reactions to Doechii launching a new light stick for 'Live from the Swamp' tour

Pop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to announce that,

"Doechii has released her own light stick for the ‘Live from the Swamp’ tour."

Fans were notably quick to weigh in the comment section of the X post as they shared their thoughts on Doechii's tour light stick. Below are some of their reactions:

"It’s wild how artists keep finding new ways to turn a concert into a full-on experience, but I can’t help feeling like light sticks are becoming a bit too much these days. I get the whole vibe and being part of the crowd, but sometimes it feels like these extras are just another way to make fans reach deeper into their pockets instead of focusing on the music itself. Doechii dropping her own light stick might be cool for die-hard fans, but I am sitting here wondering if the next thing will be a branded snack or exclusive perfume to go with the tour. It’s like the line between art and merch just keeps getting blurrier every year and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing yet", penned an X user.

"that's a smart way of upgrading your fandom, let them all wave mini beacons of chaos in perfect unison", noted another.

"Of course Doechii did. Every era-defining woman builds her own symbol, not of fandom, but of frequency. That light stick is not merch, it is a declaration. Welcome to the swamp, where feminine chaos glows on command.", commented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"That’s pretty cool ngl, I like the idea of western artists adopting this idea!", stated a fan.

"This is so cool, I have been to a k pop concert and things like this make the concert experience more fun. Hope more western artist do this", added another.

"Doechii leveling up the fan experience, her own light stick for the Swamp tour is here 🔥✨", hyped a third.
