BREAKING: Travis Kelce hands over his $12K shirt after Taylor Swift’s bold suggestion
In an unexpected gesture that left fans and friends buzzing, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce handed off his $12,000 Bottega Veneta shirt to former NFL player Beau Allen-with a little encouragement from Taylor Swift.
The surprising exchange happened during the Chiefs’ playoff game against the Houston Texans, as Allen recounted on the “Green Light with Chris Long” podcast. Allen shared how Kelce personally invited him to the high-stakes matchup, telling him, “You’re coming to this game. Don’t make me regret this.”
Allen, 33, enthusiastically accepted the invitation, only to find himself mingling with pop royalty. When asked if he had the chance to meet Swift at the game, Allen confirmed, describing the singer as “cool” and recalling her unexpected compliment.
“She said I was funny,” Allen revealed. “I wasn’t expecting that at all-like, thanks, Taylor.”
The highlight of the night, however, wasn’t just the star-studded interactions or the Chiefs’ 23-14 victory. Allen shared how he ended up with Kelce’s high-end suede shirt after complimenting the player’s bold pregame look.
“I told Travis his jacket was slick, and he just gave it to me,” Allen said, still in disbelief. The designer shirt, valued at nearly $12,000, seemed too extravagant for such a casual handoff. But Kelce, 35, had one condition: “If it fits you, you can have it. I’m never gonna wear it again.”
Swift showed her generous side once again
Swift, watching the exchange, chimed in with encouragement. “Yeah, it’ll definitely fit. Put it on,” she insisted. Allen, although skeptical at first, tried it on-and to his surprise, it fit perfectly.
“I was kinda disappointed, though,” Allen joked. “I used to be a big f-kin’ boy, and now I’m wearing the same size as him.”
Kelce, known for his flashy style and big personality, arrived at Arrowhead Stadium that night in the luxury shirt, paired with a white tee. The Chiefs went on to secure a spot in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, but it was Kelce’s off-the-field generosity that stole the show for Allen.
While Kelce’s gameplay continues to make headlines, it’s his spontaneous gesture and Swift’s playful involvement that added a touch of star power to an already memorable evening. Whether it’s on the field or in the fashion world, Kelce knows how to make a statement.
