Travis Scott’s Shocking Move: Eyes on Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter After Cutting Ties with Ye!

Scott Cuts Ties with Ye

The Astroworld rapper’s announcement comes just days after unfollowing Kanye West on Instagram, signaling a major shift in their relationship. West, 47, responded with a bizarre social media rant, calling out former collaborators and making inflammatory remarks.

“I love [Travis], Virgil, and Drake,” Ye tweeted last Friday. “Drake is the realest one of those three, though. He is not fake cool, he’s just talented af.”

West also went on an unhinged tirade, defending Diddy, referring to himself as “Yaydolf Hitler,” and attacking overweight women, claiming they “offend” him. His controversial comments have led to further backlash, pushing more former allies away.

A Long History with Ye

Travis Scott and Kanye West have worked together extensively, collaborating on at least 26 tracks, including the 2023 song Nights on the Moon. Scott was also signed to Ye’s former label, GOOD Music. As recently as 2023, Scott praised West during a concert in Rome, saying, “There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West.”

However, Scott appears to be forging a new path. His interest in working with Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter suggests he is moving in a fresh, more mainstream direction.

The Shadow of Astroworld

Scott’s career shift comes as he continues to deal with the fallout from the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy, where 10 fans lost their lives in a deadly crowd crush. The youngest victim, nine-year-old Ezra Blount, died of compression asphyxia. Over 4,900 attendees were injured, with 25 hospitalized.

While Scott has settled wrongful death lawsuits with the victims’ families, he avoided criminal charges after a 19-month investigation. In 2023, Rolling Stone reported that Scott’s legal team claimed he lost his phone “at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico,” preventing investigators from retrieving texts from the day of the tragedy.

Scott has faced legal trouble before. He was arrested in 2015 for disorderly conduct at Lollapalooza and again in 2017 for inciting a riot at an Arkansas show.

What’s Next for Travis Scott?

Despite the controversies, Scott remains a major force in music. He is set to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekends of April 11 and 18. Before that, he will lead the all-star lineup for the Cactus Jack Foundation’s HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic at Daikin Park in Houston this Thursday, with ticket sales supporting HBCU initiatives.

A Devoted Father

Beyond music, Scott is a dedicated father to his two children, daughter Stormi Webster, 7, and son Aire Webster, 3, from his five-year relationship with Kylie Jenner, which ended in 2023.

Scott shared that Stormi’s favorite song is his 2014 track Mamacita. “That’s how I know Stormi’s turnt. Out of all the songs, that song’s turnt, and she loves it,” he told Billboard.

Her latest favorite is Thank God. “She didn’t know she was on it until she heard the album. She was like, ‘That’s me!’ She knows every word. It’s cool to see even the youth is tapped in on that level. It gives me a reason to wake up.”

The Future of Scott’s Music

With his latest announcement, Travis Scott is making it clear that he is focused on the future. A collaboration with Taylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter would mark a surprising but strategic move, blending hip-hop and pop in a way that could redefine his career.

As he distances himself from Ye and steps into a new era, fans are left wondering: what will Travis Scott do next?
