Kanye West made an unexpected appearance at Travis Scott’s Orlando concert on Wednesday night, treating fans to a performance of his iconic track “Runaway.”
Despite hints from the duo beforehand, the live rendition of the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy hit left audiences in awe.
Sporting a white hockey mask reminiscent of Jason Voorhees, the controversial 46-year-old took the stage by storm, delivering a memorable performance that captivated the crowd.
Alongside “Runaway,” West energized the audience with renditions of other classics including “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” and “All of the Lights” from various albums in his repertoire.
Ty Dolla Sign also joined the duo on stage, adding his signature flair to performances of “Fade” and “Vultures,” further elevating the electric atmosphere of the evening.
Prior to the Orlando show, Travis Scott, 32, took to Twitter to tease the night’s events, promising fans a “special” experience.
