Two friends won their local Halloween costume contest after dressing up as Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce. <br /><br />Steve O'Brien, 58, and Bucky Kosek, 38, decided to dress up as the famed couple after Steve's wife, Tanika O'Brien, suggested the idea.<br /><br />Tanika came up with idea in late September after hearing that Bucky, a data analyst, was often compared to the NFL player.<br /><br />Steve's costume included a full face of makeup, a blond wig and he even wore an American football jacket with the number with Travis Kelce's number - 87. <br /><br />Bucky wore a Travis Kelce jersey and a pair of sunglasses. <br /><br />A video shows the two friends walking hand in hand, even mimicking the famous couple's body language.<br /><br />The pair wowed the crowd at the Santa Rosa Golf Club and Beach Club, which hosted the contest, and won a free dinner.<br /><br />At first, Steve, a homebuilder from Santa Rosa, California, USA, wasn't keen on dressing up as the pop star. <br /><br />But his wife Tanika, a real estate agent, spent weeks convincing him and he caved in only a week before the contest, which was held on October 25. <br /><br />Tanika said: "I've been pitching it to him for the last 30 days. I have no idea what changed. I just said to him 'Do you want to win?'"<br /><br />Steve continued: "Originally I said no as I thought it would be a lot of effort to pull it off. <br /><br />"I changed my mind when I realized we would win hands down if we did pull it off and a few beers were involved."<br /><br />Steve was unsure about the costume but got into character straight away when he saw how well it worked and even insisted on makeup. <br /><br />He said: "In the end we really only did it to win. People have been consumed with it. The entire club is talking about it. <br /><br />"Everyone just said great job. That was amazing."<br /><br />Tanika also said she was impressed with her husband's acting: "The way he walked. His body language. I think he really did his research.<br /><br />"He insisted I do his makeup. I just basically did my usual look on him and it worked great."<br /><br />As soon as the crowd saw the pair - especially Steve - they went wild and the other contestants accepted their loss. <br /><br />Tanika added: "Everyone burst out laughing when they saw them. People didn't even recognise Steve. <br /><br />"As soon as they walked in, the other contestants told us we'd won. They said well done you won Halloween."<br /><br />Tanika was responsible for every part of Steve's costume using her own clothes while Bucky handled his part. <br /><br />She said: "I looked at what she had been wearing. I was going to bedazzle some jeans. <br /><br />"He put them on and said he was an ugly girl so I picked up something else for him."
