He went on to reveal how the cameo was, in reality, his idea. “I was like, ‘How fun would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the “1989” era?’” Travis recalled asking the Cruel Summer hitmaker. “She started laughing and was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ ”
The NFL star continued, “I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that. Are you kidding me? I’ve seen the show enough. Might as well put me to work here,’” adding, “She found the perfect part of the show to put me in. … It was, like, the safest option.”
