Admitting the NFL stage is truly "huge," A$AP said he's looking forward to the concert more than her biggest fans. "Her being the creative she is, she going to bring it, man," he said. "I'm excited. I'm more excited than everybody else, honestly." 

A$AP noted that big things are coming for the couple amid the release of his new single "Same Problems?" this week: "Especially for both of us, it is a good year for both of us to be more active and be out there."
