AceShowbiz - Following his performances at Coachella in the past weekend, Travis Scott (II) headed to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Wednesday, April 19 to perform his song "Goosebumps". Although his collaborator, Kendrick Lamar, didn't join him to perform their collaborative track, Travis still managed to give the audiences in the studio a mesmerizing performance.
Without the typical hip-hop concertgoer crowd, the performance might seem odd as it is unlikely for hip-hop stars to perform on daytime show. However, the 24-year-old rapper did his best during his performance. The set was bathed in red and blue light as well as dry ice to add dramatic effects while Travis delivered his verses smoothly with auto-tune voice.
Prior to this, Travis as a special guest had teamed up with Kendrick to perform "Goosebumps" on Kendrick's Coachella headlining set. Travis previously said of Kendrick, "I met him at the [MTV Video Music Awards] one year and he came up to me and was just like, 'Yo, man, I f**k with your music. It's super dope and inspirational.' "
"I was like, this is the best rapper in the globe-- he f**ks with my music! That's one of the things that made me want to keep working on my music and try to keep it going 'cause I'm not the most rappity rap a** n***a. That's not me but I really love Kendrick's music," he added
"Goosebumps" is one of the tracks off Travis' latest effort "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight", and the music video for the single was released earlier this month. Travis Scott is currently on the road for his "Birds Eye View" tour which is set to end in June in Manchester, Tennessee.
