Beau Allen scored a pricey gift — thanks to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — after the Chiefs defeated the Texans.
Allen, 33, was a guest on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast on Monday, Jan. 20, where he shared how Swift, 35, helped him walk away with the $11,900 Bottega Venetta shirt that Kelce, 35, wore to Arrowhead Stadium for the game.
The former football player said Kelce told him to come to the game — where he cheered on the Chiefs with Swift and basketball superstar Caitlin Clark. “He’s like, ‘You’re coming to this game. Don’t make me regret this,’” Allen shared.
After the Chiefs win, Allen said he complimented the tight end’s salmon-colored Bottega Venetta shirt — and then got to keep it. “He just f—ing gave it to me, so, it’s pretty slick,” said Allen, who thought it might not fit him at first.
“I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s gonna fit me,’ and Taylor’s like, ‘Yeah, it’ll definitely fit. Put it on.’ “
Kelce told his pal that he could have the shirt “if it fits” because the Chiefs star was “never going to wear it again” after being photographed in it during his pregame tunnel walk.

The former nose tackle then joked how he was “kinda disappointed” that the shirt actually fit. “I used to be a big f—ing boy and now I’m wearing the same clothes as him,” Allen teased.
Allen also shared how “cool” Swift was during the game, which the Chiefs won 23-14 at Arrowhead Stadium.
“She led with a compliment,” Allen said of the “So High School” singer. “She said I was funny and that she respected my commitment, to, like, making a joke or getting a laugh or something like that,” he told Long.

“I was just like, ‘Oh, wow, I really wasn’t expecting a compliment out of you. Like, thank you.’ “
Swift arrived early to the Chiefs’ first playoff game of the season on Saturday, and brought along her mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin — all decked out in Chiefs gear — to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Next, Kelce and the Chiefs will host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at home on Jan. 26 in the AFC Championship, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
