Travis Scott performs onstage during the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on August 20, 2018 in New York City.

"SICKO MODE" is undoubtedly a crowd pleaser.

Travis Scott ascended to a new level in his career with the release of his highly anticipated third studio album, Astroworld. The project's been in the works for years and in early August, fans finally received the project from Scott. "SICKO MODE" was an immediate highlight off of the project and served as the project's lead single. He was seen at various stops on Drake's "Aubrey & The Three Migos" tour where the Canadian rapper brought out Scott to perform their collab. The rapper recently headlined Austin City Limits Festival and shared some insane footage of his performance of his top 10 single.

Travis Scott had the crowd going crazy during his set at ACL, but it was his performance of "SICKO MODE" that had the crowd really raging. The rapper uploaded high-quality footage of the epic performance to his YouTube page for his fans across the world to watch. The rapper performed alongside Mike Dean who played a huge role in the making of Astroworld.

Interestingly enough, the rapper cut out Swae Lee's part from the song. Upon the release of the "SICKO MODE" video, Swae Lee said that he'll "keep note" of the fact that nobody reached out to him to shoot the visuals for the top 10 hit, even though he sang the track's bridge.

"SICKO MODE" is currently double platinum and peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
