Travis just f–king gave it to me," Allen shared on Monday's episode of the "Green Light with Chris Long" podcast. Initially skeptical it would fit, Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, encouraged him to try it on, saying, "Yeah, it'll definitely fit. Put it on."

Getting such an expensive gift from Kelce was undoubtedly a treat, but it seemed more like a reward for Allen's good behavior.

On the "Green Light with Chris Long" podcast, Allen and Long recounted the amusing details of Kelce's strict warning ahead of the game.

Allen likened Kelce's call to the tone of a parent reprimanding a child, recalling, "Kelce called me up and said, 'So, you're coming to this game. Don't make me regret this.'"

Despite not knowing if he'd even be sitting near Taylor Swift, Allen understood the seriousness of the moment. His response? A respectful, "Yes, sir."
