The pair were later seen leaving the Arrowhead Stadium together, with Taylor wearing a Chiefs jacket around her waist and grinning like the cat that got the cream.

The ‘date’ comes a week after Travis, 33, blasted older brother Jason, a Philadelphia Eagles star, as “ridiculous” for telling a chat show that rumours of the pair’s romance were “100 per cent true”.

“The guy is ridiculous,” Travis said. “He can’t stay out of the fricking headlines. Everyone, please stop asking my brother about my love life.”

But he admitted he had been chasing the 33-year-old pop star since seeing her play at the arena in July.

He told Pat McAfee: “I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage at Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’

“We’ll see what happens in the near future.”

Having accepted the invitation Taylor, who split from The 1975 singer Matty Healy in June, might want to revisit one of her old lyrics – I Knew You Were Trouble.

Expelled from preschool
Growing up in Cleveland with an age gap of just 23 months, brothers Jason and Travis were always competitive and caused mum Donna a fair few headaches.

“It’s a lot of broken windows, a lot of, you know, crashes, a lot of fighting… and Travis was always the one that was the instigator because he wanted his brother’s attention,” banker Donna has said.

Jason – whose Eagles team was beaten by Travis’ in this year’s Super Bowl – has also opened up about their sibling rivalry, telling NFL Films: “Two-year age difference, so growing up, in typical younger brother fashion, Travis found all the other ways to get the upper hand — and that was the most annoying thing ever.”

Travis’s competitive streak got him in trouble at an early age, and saw him kicked out of preschool after refusing to share a draughts set.

“I kept winning and the teacher told me, ‘You know Travis, you have to share,’ and I was like, ‘That’s not how it rolls’,” Travis said, adding that he then “threw the chair I was sitting in at her.”
