The festival had an incredible line up including artists from lil wayne to young thug living up to it’s slogan , “wish you were here”. As the headliner, Travis put on a powerful performance proving, why he’s one of the most brilliant blockbuster acts in music.
For a musician, no stage is bigger than the Super Bowl with over 100 million viewers each year. Travis made a deal with the league to perform at the 53rd superbowl along side maroon 5 with the request that a joint donation of $500,000 be made to social justice accelerator, Dream Corps. Travis performed his Hot 100 No. 1 hit, sicko mode with aid from Maroon 5.
For a musician, no award ceremony is more prestigious than the Grammys. At the 61st Grammys, Travis was nominated in for three categories : best rap album, best rap song, best rap performance. Unfortunately, Travis was not awarded any of these honors but he still stole the show with a stellar performance. Travis performed “Stop trying to be God,” then went straight into “No Bystanders.”
