Rapper Travis Scott refused to let a bout of stomach troubles, caused by bad tacos, derail his sold-out show in Pittsburgh on Friday night.
Despite receiving medical advice and two IVs, Scott, also known as La Flame and Cactus Jack, was determined to Һit the stage. Disregarding the doctor’s warning of potential fainting, he declared to the crowd, “We goin’ rage! It’s the weekend, rage!”
Undeterred by his health setback, Scott, whose birth nаme is Jacques Bermon Webster II, went on to deliver an electrifying performance at PPG Paints Arena.
The concert marked his first tour stop in Pittsburgh in over five years and showcased tracks from his latest chart-topping album, “UTOPIA,” released in July, accompanied by a documentary, “CIRCUS MAXIMUS.”
The stage was set as a rocky, post-apocalyptic landscape, and Scott’s dynamic 90-minute set featured pyrotechnics, fireworks, and captivating visuals.
The artist, also known as “Dad” to his children Stormi and Airi, engaged the audience with hits like “HYAENA,” “CIRCUS MAXIMUS,” “MY EYES,” “I KNOW ?,” and “MELTDOWN.” Despite the somber backdrop of the Astroworld Festival tragedy, where Scott’s performance led to 10 fatalities in 2021, the audience enthusiastically embraced his latest album.
A highlight of the night was Scott’s performance of “FE!N,” a track he played multiple times during the show. The stage effects, including spotlights and suspended heads with high-intensity lights, added to the spectacle. The concert showcased Scott’s resilience and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience for his fans, reinforcing his status as a bona fide star in the music industry.
