Eight-time Grammy Award nominee Travis Scott, who grew up in Missouri City and is a Houston sports superfan, was fortunate enough that his nationwide tour happened to be in Dallas while the series was in Arlington, so the rapper was at Games 3 and 4. In fact, after the Astros blitzed the Rangers in Game 4, Scott was leaving the stadium when he yelled out to a group of reporters waiting to enter the Astros clubhouse, “Y’all don’t have to worry about anything. Those boys are on fire.”
