My dad..I grew up an electrician, he had a thriving electric company back home. I could have gone back and done that, he would have been elated.

A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.
