Continuing his promotional tour for his latest album, "Utopia," Travis Scott made an appearance on Saturday Night Live.
For his performance of "My Eyes," Scott opted for an understated approach, lying flat on a stage platform against a space-themed backdrop, appearing to “ascend” into space.
Halfway through, Scott stood up as the beat transformed, raising energy levels in preparation for his next song.
Following a minimalistic, yet dramatic performance of “My Eyes”, was a high-energy performance of “FE!N”, featuring Playboi Carti.
The camerawork, synced to the beat of the song and the rappers’ movement, elevated the act in a nod to the music video, released only hours prior to the performance.
In a recent interview with GQ, Scott disclosed his original vision for "Utopia" as a theatrical production, seeking advice from playwright Jeremy O. Harris to adapt the album for the stage.
Scott added, “I was trying to take Broadway—because the thing about Broadway theaters. They’re kind of small—I was trying to bring the idea of Broadway to bigger venues. Like, either, like, plays in stadiums or plays in arenas, but still make it feel like a Broadway bill.”
