Travis Scott Flies High

When Travis Scott appeared on our January cover, he opened up to contributing editor Jonah Weiner about his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner; his family ties to Houston; Kanye West; and much more [“The Supersonic, Superstoned Adventures of Travis Scott,” RS 1323]. Scott’s admission that Jenner is “the one” and that he wants to propose to her in a “fire way” allegedly brought the young mogul to tears when she read the article, according to a source close to her family. Other readers were also moved by the profile. One reader, Art V., tweeted, “I remember discovering his Blogspot in high school, and that led me to Owl Pharaoh a few years later. Amazing to watch him grow into this star.” Another reader, Suzy, also tweeted, “He’s so much more than Kylie’s baby daddy. Love how down to earth he is and all the love people got for him.” Reader Josie felt the same way, tweeting, “This article made me appreciate him so much more.” A tweet by reader Chey put it simply: “Travis did the damn thing for 2018. Beautiful daughter, best album of the year, an epic tour, and finishing it off with a Rolling Stone cover.”

@yema_lu: @jonahweiner captured the day so well that I genuinely felt the randomly intense energy Travis has. You observed and simultaneously let us into his head.

“This interview is so sick(o). The sweetest part is hearing Travis Scott’s autistic brother is also the inspiration for the rapper to bring kids up onstage.”
