Travis Scott debuted a new song during halftime of Ohio State’s national championship win over Notre Dame – but viewers didn’t love the track or his performance.
Scott’s track ‘4×4′ was premiered during halftime of the Buckeyes’ 34-23 win.
But viewers were underwhelmed by the production quality of the performance, as the rapper – who was stationed on the roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium – was barely visible in the dark and performed for less than two minutes.
Meanwhile, other fans sympathized with those who were at the game in person and didn’t actually get to see Scott perform in front of them beyond watching the jumbotron.
‘So Travis Scott is performing his song on the roof and that’s the halftime show for the people inside?,’ one asked on X.
‘Imagine going to the national championship game, finding out Travis Scott is doing the halftime show, and then he just dances on the f***ing roof,’ another said.

In reality, the performance appeared to be pre-recorded, as Scott posted a promo video with a trumpet player on the roof before the game. Additionally, the band did not appear to be on the roof during the performance.
Scott was also seen being interviewed on the field before the game.
Nonetheless, many fans did not like the song itself either.
‘Big Travis Scott fan, but I’m starting to think bro speaks his own language. His songs are both un-memorizable and unforgettable,’ one fan said.
‘If you need further proof the youth and future of this country is bleak, Travis Scott is very popular and doesn’t even really say anything,’ a second added.
And a third said, ‘My most boomer opinion is that this entire genre of music like Travis Scott is god awful and unlistenable.’
The song is currently available for pre-save, though it’s not clear when it will be released.
The negative reaction to the performance was very different to that of the national anthem performance by Coco Jones ahead of the game.
