“My daughters hoodwinked me,” he admitted. “They got me to take 10 of their friends, and that was $2,000 a ticket. That’s $20,000 on that damn concert.” With a mix of humor and honesty, he added, “I ain’t got your money, Travis. I damn sure don’t have [Taylor Swift’s] money. I said, ‘This better be worth it.'”
