Not so, Jason said.
“I’m just sitting here and I’m feeling it. I’m tapping my thigh and I’m just in the moment listening to the song, then all of a sudden I go on Twitter and I see this fucking picture. Like dude, what the fuck! Like, I’m not even sleeping and I can prove it to you! There’s evidence in this photo that I’m not sleeping.”
That evidence, he said, is his right hand, evidently blurred in motion above his knee.
“You can’t sleep with your hand hovering above your knee. It’s impossible. I’m not Major Payne. I can’t sleep with my eyes open, let alone my hand hovering over my knee.”
Jason attended his first Eras Tour shows over the summer, when he took in two performances at Wembley Stadium and also happened to meet Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George. At the time, he compared seeing Swift live to going to a Bruce Springsteen show, and it’s safe to say he’s now a hardcore Swiftie.
The Miami show, he said, was even better.
“The rain and every–dude, it was like on another level,” he gushed. “I texted you halfway through it like, ‘dude, this rain, Tay is killing it.’ Dude, when Reputation came on and she came out in the new outfit and the rain was coming down, the place could have fucking erupted. The amount of energy was insane.”
Travis, apparently satisfied, conceded that Jason was “just feeling the groove.”
“You know I played jazz,” Jason said. “Sometimes you close your eyes.”
“Dude, every jazz solo I ever saw you play,” Travis confirmed.
Despite the photographic “friendly fire” that coincided with Jason’s moment of Zen, Jason said that the family had a good time at what was the first time Donna, Elliotte, and Wyatt had seen Swift play live.
“Not only did everybody have a good time, but everybody has been texting over the last couple days since then like, dude, she’s just incredible. The show’s incredible,” he said. “Miami was another level of it. I’m excited for her to be back out on tour, this final leg of the Eras run here. Pretty awesome. It was an incredible trip. Keep killin’ it, Tay.”
