How Travis Scott's chaotic shows electrify a fervent fan base
ABC News
Travis Scott is known for chaotic shows with elements of rock-and-roll like moshing and crowd surfing. But before Astroworld none had led to fatalities.
Chants of "Travis! Travis!" echoed from the stage to the farthest corners of the concert venue as anticipation continued to build.
And then mayhem -- a collective gasp and screams -- broke out as fans caught the first glimpse of Travis Scott's silhouette illuminated by spotlights and flames bursting from the stage.
The crowd swayed, and a surge of enraptured fans pushed and shoved to get a better view, to inch a little closer to the most coveted Astroworld seat: a standing-room spot at the front of the hip-hop superstar's headlining show, where the "raging" is most extreme.
Those are scenes from "Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly," a 2019 Netflix documentary that documents the rise of the electrifying hip-hop star, the chaos that defines his larger-than-life performances and his relationship with die-hard fans.
