Travis Scott’s performance during the CFP National Championship Game halftime show has stirred quite a controversy, leaving many fans feeling frustrated and disappointed. The highly anticipated event took place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where thousands gathered to witness the showdown between Notre Dame and Ohio State. While Scott was set to deliver an electrifying performance, the reality was far from what many expected.
Fans had flocked to the stadium, with some even purchasing tickets solely to see the 33-year-old rapper perform. However, the excitement quickly turned to confusion when it became clear that Scott was performing on the roof of the stadium rather than on the field. This decision meant that many fans in attendance were unable to see him debut his new hit song, “4×4.” Instead of enjoying the show up close, they were left craning their necks and searching for glimpses of the action.

Many fans took to social media to express their dissatisfaction. One fan tweeted, “They told us Travis Scott was performing at the game. No one told us it was on top of the game what the fuck he’s literally on top of the stadium.” Another chimed in, “Haven’t seen a single positive tweet about that Travis Scott performance.” This outpouring of frustration highlighted how the setup of the performance left many feeling cheated out of the experience they had anticipated.
Adding to the confusion, there were claims that Scott’s performance was pre-recorded, despite him being physically present at the game. “Pre recorded garbage,” one fan remarked, while another added, “I couldn’t see it from my seat.” This sentiment was echoed by many who felt that the hype surrounding the performance did not match the reality they experienced.

Despite the backlash, Scott’s performance did feature some impressive visuals. He was accompanied by a marching band, and the roof of the stadium was illuminated with bright red lights, creating a striking ambiance. However, for the fans who had paid as much as $5,300 for tickets, the inability to see the performance up close was a significant letdown. Tickets had originally been priced at around $2,000 each, making the experience even more costly for those hoping to enjoy the halftime show.
As the halftime show unfolded, social media was abuzz with reactions. Fans joked that Scott’s performance was so distant it could be described as “literally in space!” Others humorously suggested that it would require a “Presidential Padron” to make sense of the situation. The atmosphere was rife with disappointment as fans realized that what they had envisioned was far from the reality they experienced.

In the midst of the chaos, Scott took to Twitter, asking, “Is it halftime yet ??????” just moments before his performance. This tweet only added to the confusion as fans wondered what they were about to witness. While he may have been excited to showcase his new music, the execution left much to be desired for those in attendance.
The CFP National Championship Game halftime show was meant to be a highlight of the event, but it instead became a source of frustration for many. With the combination of high ticket prices, a performance that was difficult to see, and the speculation of pre-recording, fans were left feeling shortchanged. As the dust settles on this controversial halftime show, one must wonder: will future performances take note of this backlash and ensure a more accessible experience for fans?
