Travis Scott Performs “Sweet Sweet” and “Goosebumps” on Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’
Travis Scott‘s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight somehow didn’t receive any love from the Grammy Awards this year, a severe act of snubbery that’s still fucking up my week. But, hey, today is a new day and we have a nice two-punch medley from Scott’s performance on Thursday’s Late Show With Stephen Colbert to enjoy.
Scott performed the Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight tracks “Sweet Sweet” and “Goosebumps,” two confirmed highlights from the No. 1 album featuring production from Murda Beatz and Mike Dean. Speaking with Billboard surrounding the album’s release back in September, Scott broke down the inspiration behind what is arguably one of the illest album titles in recent memory.
“It all stemmed from me having that frustration of just like wanting to do creative shit and just not being able to do it,” Scott explained at the time. “It took five months for my action figure to come out. It took eight months for the Hype Williams video to come out. I just felt like I was confined in a box. I couldn’t do shit I wanted to do to help forward pop culture and music. It’s like motherfuckers still tryna hold me back so that was the whole gist of it. ‘In the trap’ has nothing to do with coke or anything. It’s literally a trap.”
You fucked up, Grammys.
