“I told Tay about it initially. I thought, ‘How funny would it be if I got on a bike in the ‘1989’ era?'” she explained to Jason. “She started laughing and said, ‘Are you really up for doing something like that?’ And I thought, ‘Would you – what? I would love to do that. Are you kidding?’ I’ve watched so much of the show. I should get a job right here.”
“They found the part of the show that was perfect for me. There were no bikes, so that was the safest option if I ran into someone else or bumped into a dancer or something.”

“(They’re) trying to bring Tay back to life, right? Trying to get her back to life and ready to perform the rest of the show, so to speak. Knowing that she can ‘do it with a broken heart,'” Travis said, referencing the popular track from Swift’s latest album.
“I have seen enough of this show. Put me to work here.”

“It’s a fun, playful part of the show. And it was the perfect place or the perfect time for me to go out there, just be a ham and have some fun with not only (Taylor), Cam and Jan, but with the crowd,” Travis said. “I played around with Tay and did her makeup right.”
At one point during the drama, Travis picked Swift up and lifted her into his arms.

He joked, “One thing I told myself was, ‘Don’t drop the baby. Don’t drop her. Don’t drop Taylor while getting to this damn couch.’ The golden rule was don’t drop Taylor. Get her to the couch safely.”
Travis admitted it’s not entirely impossible that he’ll perform on stage; he regularly does so off stage as well.
“I’ve seen this show so many times now,” he said. “I find myself in the crowd, doing the choreography.”

“I didn’t let Taylor down. So, that’s all that matters,” he said.
Later in the podcast episode, Travis hinted at more possible productions.
“Thank you Tay for letting me get on stage with you. Who knows? This might not be the last time. You guys have to keep coming back to the Eras tour – to see if I can get off stage,” he told the audience.
“What could I do after that? I told him, ‘No. That’s how it works. Once I’m comfortable, I stop listening to others, and start doing my own thing.'”
