The teams faced off in a sequence of challenges for the chance at profitable the Lombaby Trophy, whose origins are common to recurrent “New Heights” listeners. Workforce Educational was finally victorious.
Travis Tries (and Fails) to Spell ‘Squirrel’
A spelling bee was part of the online games, offering Travis the best possibility to show he does, in point, know how to read through. Travis tried to spell “squirrel,” throwing it back to one of his previous tweets that went viral in 2023. “F—k you men!” he teased following having stumped. (Crew Athletic’s Jizzle James spelled the term with ease.)

Shaking It Off
In the course of a spherical of “name that tune,” the marching band played Swift’s “Shake It Off.” Travis straight away started dancing, gushing following the music stopped that it is “one of my favorites.” He’s not the only fan — Jason stated his eldest daughter, Wyatt, also loves the 1989 strike.
How Numerous Taylor Songs Have been Performed?
“Shake It Off” could possibly be Travis’ favorite, but the crowd went even far more wild when “22 (Taylor’s Version)” played above the loudspeakers. A different online video confirmed “Cruel Summer” blasting by means of the venue — who understood The Eras Tour was stopping in Cincinnati?

(Earlier in the evening, Donna was spotted handing out sandwiches to eager fans.)
