The American Football Star Brothers Welcome Swift and called them “Tay Tay” and ran through a list of their many awards.

The episode begins with a screaming introduction by Jason, the former player of Philadelphia Eagles, who runs through a long list of his brother's success, including the only artists who wins the album of the year Grammy four times.
Swift sat next to Travis and giggled before thanking Jason for his enthusiasm.
Then she made fun of her about her in a podcast that is usually directed by American football fans.
“As we all know, they have many male sports fans who hear their podcast,” she said.
“I think we all know that it is more of me when there is one thing that male sports fans want in their rooms and on their screens,” she looked dead and looked directly into the camera.
Swift's appearance at Kansas City Chiefs Games has made madness over the years. In 2023, when the couple started to meet and she appeared, play cameras searched for the singer in the stands – while some games to cut them more than a dozen times.
The NFL promoted its appearances at games on social media and published videos and tweets about the singer and her celebrity fellow, who often accompanied them.

Swift was asked why she decided to appear in the podcast, which is mainly directed for sports fans.
“This podcast did a lot for me. This podcast brought me a friend,” she said and accused Travis to have used the podcast as a “personal dating app” before he met her.
Before they started to meet or even meet, Travis fame the podcast to take concerts at one of Swift's concerts and be sad if they couldn't meet. He spoke of making her a pearl friendship bracelet that was popular during the Eras tour and said he wanted to give her his phone number.
She said that the clip that became viral almost felt like “he stood outside my apartment and held the boom box:” I would like to make a date with you “.
She said this was exactly the moment when she “wrote songs about it and wanted to happen to me since my teenager”.
“It was wild, but it worked … he is the good kind of crazy,” she said, calling her friend “a human exclamation”.
She said she was giving back to the podcast show to thank you.
Swift didn't know about football – to Travis

Swift said she didn't know anything about football before her romance began.
“I didn't know what the first down” or a “tight end” (this is the position that Travis plays), she said.
She said she appreciated Travis' patience and understanding when she started to meet her and introduce her to his world.
She has now invested personally – quoted an episode in which she recently was interested in trading with players. She remembered that she had thought in front of her: “Who caught me?”
Travis told her that he would be “grateful forever” that she “” all over the heart “immersed in his world.
While Swift was temporarily shy to discuss her relationship in public, Travis was more open. Before the podcast was broadcast, he said GQ in an interview: “I love being the happiest type of the world.”
He also praised Swift for her sportiness and compared her three -hour concerts with his football games.
“She will never say to someone that she is an athlete. But I saw what she is going through. I saw the amount of work she puts on her body and it is stunning,” he said.
“It is more strenuous than how much I brought in on a Sunday and she does three, four or five days in a row,” he said.
