Judging by the images and videos released surrounding her concert so far, Ariana Grande’s Rift Tour performance looks to be on par with the visual feast that was Travis Scott’s Astronomical concert. The rapper’s concert was laden with trippy, cosmic imagery that took players on a journey from the island through outer space.Travis Scott reportedly made about $20 millionfrom the event, so its fairly safe to say Ariana Grande will make a similarly staggering amount.
