Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Travis and Swift were spending time together, but fans were left unsure where the couple really stood. Jason, 35, got the rumor mill going on the WIP Morning Show in Philadelphia on Wednesday, September 20, further confusing sports fans and Swifties.
“It’s hard to answer because I don’t really know much about what’s going on in Travis’ love life. I’m trying to keep his business [as] his company and straight out of that world,” he teased. “That said… I think it’s 100 percent true.”
Jason mumbled something else, with some listeners thinking he was taking issue with his comment, adding, “No, I’m kidding, I don’t know what’s happening.”
A day later, Travis revealed on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he invited Swift to see him “rock the stage at Arrowhead” — and begged reporters to stop expecting his brother to have answers. “That man is absolutely ridiculous,” he joked.
