Travis Scott flew out to this weekend's UEFA Champions League Final in Budapest — and it looks like he might have tipped everyone off to the fact that he's completed his next album.
When speaking to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry ahead of kickoff at Puskás Aréna on Saturday (May 30) about the red rectangular device clipped to his outfit — which some believe to be an iPod — Scott had an interesting explanation for what it was for. "Gotta keep the new album safe," he said.
Scott’s announcement comes almost three years after Utopiadropped in July of 2023. That LP opened with 496,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
The moment fits a pattern Scott has been building throughout 2026, seemingly dropping clues that he’s gearing up for a new project to come out. Earlier this month, he uploaded studio session footage to Instagram with a caption that read: "My version of the gym / Non stop head bangers / ball."
Months before that, he had posted a message to fan pages that said: "LOVE TO ALL THE FAN PAGES YALL KEEP IT ROCKING WE SHALL EAT SOOOOONNN."
Last November, a clip from the European leg of the Circus Maximus Tour also showed Scott telling a crowd he had written an entire album while moving through Europe. He credited the pace of touring itself for opening up a new creative mode.
That run wrapped on November 20, 2025, after 88 dates across five continents, grossing $265.1 million and moving more than 2.1 million tickets, figures that made it the highest-grossing solo rap tour ever reported.
Outside of his solo music, Scott’s been active with Cactus Jack Records. They released the JACKBOYS 2 album last July, with Scott posting on X that the album was so good, it made him throw up. The project featured appearances from artists like Future, Playboi Carti, and SahBabii.
