Travis Scott has shared his reaction to Coldplay playing a cover of his hit song ‘Goosebumps’ – see what the rapper had to say below.
During the band’s fourth and final show at the Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (November 10), Coldplay’s fans began chanting for Scott’s ‘FE!N’. Frontman Chris Martin asked the crowd: “What does that mean? Play ‘FE!N’ by Travis Scott? I’m under pressure. I can’t remember the whole Travis Scott catalog right now.”

he sung goosebumps instead HAHAHA
Shortly after, Martin rapped the chorus to Travis’ other hit, ‘Goosebumps’, “I get those goosebumps every time you come around“, before quickly adding that ‘Goosebumps’ was his favourite Scott tune.

Once Martin was done reading fan signs, the band dived into their own song ‘God Put A Smile Upon Your Face’, with the frontman working the chorus to ‘Goosebumps’ into the track. The clip was shared on social media, with Travis Scott reacting to the performance.
He wrote on X along with a goat emoji – used to signify the Greatest Of All Time: “This got it.”
This got it.

Travis Scott’s reaction comes after the rapper previously gave the band a shout out in several of his songs. In 2016, he rapped on ‘Way Back’: “Flew with that sound n****, got that Coldplay”. Last year, he rapped on ‘Til Further Notice’: “I been bumpin’ more Coldplay, the world cold as shit”.
Next year, Coldplay will take their ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour to North America before returning to the UK for performances in London and Hull. They will play a historic 10-night run at Wembley Stadium in the capital – beating the previous venue record set by Taylor Swift and Take That.
Coldplay most recently released their 10th studio album, ‘Moon Music’, at the start of October. It has since become the fastest-selling record by a UK act in 2024 so far and earned the biggest week for a British act on the UK’s Official Albums Chart since Adele‘s ’30’.
Ahead of the record’s release, Martin spoke to NME exclusively in his only written interview for the album. The wide-ranging conversation saw the frontman reveal the topics that had inspired the record and how the band were coming to the end of writing new music.
As for whether Coldplay were still planning on concluding their recorded catalogue after 12 albums, Martin told NME: “The 12 album thing is very real, and it’s a nice feeling. It doesn’t mean we won’t tour or finish some compilation things or outtakes or whatever. It just means that the main story is told. That’s just what feels really right. Just knowing that’s happening supercharges all the work we’re doing now.”
Elsewhere, Martin said this deadline had led to the members having “more hunger” in their creative approach, and determined to make sure they don’t “dilute” anything they put out. He reassured fans that by the time their 12th album is complete, “everything will make sense” in terms of Coldplay’s story.
