In the video, Travis and Jason poke fun at their father’s insistence that he eat all of his mashed potatoes before leaving the dinner table.

“Five sticks of butter,” Travis added.

Swift, who appeared in 13 games for her boyfriend last season, first met Ed at a gathering at Travis’ home in Kansas City, Missouri. During an appearance on Audacity 92.3’s “Baskin & Phelps” radio show in January, Ed recalled that when he arrived at Travis’ house, he didn’t recognize the “Blank Space” hitmaker.
Ed explained that Travis usually invites friends over to his house before home games and takes the shuttle to the stadium. He said about 20 people usually gather and although he’s met some of them, he can’t introduce them all.

According to Ed, Maureen told him, “‘Don’t you know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.'”

“You know how to hit the ball, I know Aristotle, all new, full throttle,” Swift sang. “Touch me while your brother plays Grand Theft Auto. It’s true, I swear, Scout’s Honor. You knew what you wanted, and , boy, you got her.”
The lyrics seem to reference Kelsea’s on-field career, as well as his recent remarks in which he admitted he doesn’t know how he got Swift.
I don’t know how I did it because she wasn’t interested in sports. So I don’t know how she did it,” he said on an episode of “New Heights.”
Swift also appeared to slam a 2016 AfterBuzz TV interview in which Kelsey played a game of “Kiss, Marry, Kill.” In the first round, Kelsey was asked to choose categories from Swift, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry.

“Damn, that’s a mess. I don’t want to kill any of them,” the three-time Super Bowl champion said as he finished the round.
“Ariana, I’m sorry, I love you, but you’re gone,” Kelce joked. “And the kiss will be Taylor Swift. And the last one? Katy Perry? Yes, the person you will marry will be Katy Perry.”
In “So High School,” Swift asks, “Are you going to marry me? Are you going to kiss me? Or are you going to kill me? It’s just a game, but the truth is, I’m betting on all three for both of us. (All three)” they sang.

“Take the car door, don’t you think it’s nice? / Then pull me into the back seat / No one’s ever accepted me, not like you.”
