Ex-Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Beau Allen’s night at Taylor Swift’s concert in Miami took an unexpected turn when people confused him for former teammate Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie.
Allen was among the sold-out crowd at Hard Rock Stadium on Friday, joining the Kelces in their suite for the “Eras Tour” extravaganza. Jason’s brother, Travis – the Kansas City Chiefs superstar – has been dating “Cruel Summer” songstress Swift for more than a year.
Eagle-eyed fans sat near the suite took pictures of the Kelces and their friends enjoying the show, although one snap in particular led to some confusion online. Wearing a denim vest with flowing long hair, Allen – a Super Bowl champion nose guard – was dancing next to Jason, while Kylie was sat elsewhere with her young children and mother-in-law, Donna.

One fan on X thought Allen was in fact Kyle, and even went as far as complimenting her muscles. “Kylie is so beautiful, down to earth, look at those ripped field hockey arms. She is the glue, the neck, the foundation. Kylie is giving us Midwestern moms life,” they said.
When she was corrected by another X user, she still thought the person dancing with Jason was a woman. “Lol, sorry, I put my glasses on and clearly that’s not Kylie. But whoever that woman is, good on those muscles! Sorry, I’m blind,” she added.
Allen, 32, responded directly to the comment on X, saying: [Kylie] wishes she had this a–.” He also shared a carousel of images from the concert on Instagram, including one of him and Kylie posing together.

Allen, a former seventh-round pick in 2014 who spent four seasons with the Eagles before stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots, saw the funny side in an appearance on former teammate Chris Long’s “Green Light” podcast.
“I was mistaken for the lovely Kylie Kelce at the [Taylor] Swift concert, which I’m rocking my merch for today,” Allen said. “T. Swift kind of popped off, but someone said that she thought I was Kylie, dancing with Jason, and she’s like, ‘[She is] down to earth. Look at those ripped field hockey arms. She is the glue, the neck, the foundation.’”
Long could not contain his amusement. He replied: “That s— was so funny to me. I mean, that is solid gold, and what’s even better is that you commented underneath.”
Images of Jason from the concert also gained traction on social media, with the ESPN pundit accused of falling asleep during the show. But he denied the claims on the latest edition of his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday.
“Zoom in on my right hand, and make sure Travis sees this — my hand is hovering, you can’t sleep with your hand hovering above your knee,” he said. “It’s impossible. I can’t sleep with my eyes open, much less my hand hovering, because I’m slapping my legs.
“This is one of my favorite parts about the show, cause the mist of the rain, it had just started to get into my face. I’m just sitting here, tapping my leg and I’m just in the moment.”
