The pair were later seen leaving Arrowhead Stadium together, with Taylor wearing a Chiefs jacket around his waist and grinning like the cat that got the cream.
The “date” comes a week after Travis, 33, called his older brother Jason, a Philadelphia Eagles star, “ridiculous” for telling a talk show that rumors of the couple’s romance were “too “100 percent true.”
“That guy is ridiculous,” Travis said. “He can’t escape the damn headlines. Everyone please stop asking my brother about my love life.”
But he admitted he had been stalking the 33-year-old pop star since he saw her play at the arena in July.
He told Pat McAfee, “I threw the ball into her court and said to her, ‘I saw you rocking the stage at Arrowhead.’ “Maybe you need to come and watch me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little brighter.”
“We’ll see what happens in the near future.”
After accepting the invitation, Taylor, who split from The 1975 singer Matty Healy in June, may want to revisit one of her old lyrics: “I Knew You Were Trouble.”

Expelled from preschool
Growing up in Cleveland with only a 23-month age difference, brothers Jason and Travis were always competitive and gave mother Donna a lot of headaches.
“It’s a lot of broken windows, a lot of accidents, a lot of fights… and Travis was always the trigger because he wanted his brother’s attention,” said banker Donna.
Jason – whose Eagles team was beaten by Travis in this year’s Super Bowl – also commented on their sibling rivalry, telling NFL Films: “Two years age difference, so Travis grew up in the typical manner of his younger brothers.” Other possibilities, to gain the upper hand – and that was the most annoying thing of all.”
Travis’ competitive drive got him into trouble at a young age and led to him being kicked out of preschool for refusing to share a draft set with others.
“I kept winning and the teacher told me, ‘You know, Travis, you have to share,’ and I was like, ‘That’s not how it works,'” Travis said, adding that he then “took the chair I was sitting on , knocked over.” at her.”
Drug rap

Although he excelled in both football and baseball at school, Travis admits that he failed several exams and was more interested in smoking drugs than studying.
“This just goes to show you that if you suck at school and smoke weed, you can win the Super Bowl twice,” he said.
But his drug addiction almost ended his athletic career after he followed his brother to university Cincinnati with a football scholarship.
In his first year in 2009, he was kicked off the team after failing a drug test – but Jason stepped in and arranged for Travis to move in with him so he could “keep an eye on him.”
He persuaded the team coach to give him a second chance.
“I never really asked how he got me back on the team,” Travis told Sports Illustrated. “That was because my brother was just a big brother, watching over me every step of the way and fighting for success.”
After signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011, generous Jason bought his brother a new Ford F-150 – which was stolen less than 10 hours later while Travis was hanging out at a strip club in Cleveland.
“He didn’t tell me there was a spare key in the glove compartment,” Travis later admitted. “I had the key. I just didn’t lock the car. Strippers caught me!”

Cheating rumors
