Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Inspire Lifetime Holiday Movie

As a die-hard fan of both Taylor Swift and NFL, I can’t help but feel like I’ve stumbled upon a Christmas miracle! The fact that Lifetime is creating a movie inspired by the whirlwind romance between my favorite pop star and my beloved Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, is nothing short of extraordinary.


Currently, the popular celebrity pairing between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is serving as inspiration for a Lifetime Christmas film.

Lifetime cable channel plans to broadcast the movie “Christmas in the Spotlight” towards the end of this year as part of their annual collection of holiday movies known as “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime”. The film revolves around a pop star named Bowyn, portrayed by Jessica Lord, who has yet to find her perfect match. That changes when she encounters a professional football player, played by Laith Wallschleger, in the backstage area during one of her concerts.

Following Drew’s open admission of having feelings for Bowyn, they start a romantic relationship. As their affection intensifies, doubts arise about the authenticity of their emotions, leading to increased scrutiny from the media, photographers, fans, and even their loved ones. This tension is portrayed in the film’s narrative.

As a gamer, here’s my take on that line: “Over the festive season, I’ve got until the big New Year’s Eve bash to make up my mind whether to keep this partnership going or let it fade away like an uncompleted game level.

In addition, the film features TV personality Jeannie Mai portraying Bowyn’s manager, while model and TikTok sensation Haley Kalil is cast as Drew’s sister-in-law.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but notice the striking similarities between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story and the plot of “Christmas in the Spotlight.” Although it’s not officially confirmed that the narrative is based on them, the parallels are undeniably captivating.

In the realm of cable holiday movies, Lifetime’s main rival, Hallmark, is stepping into the NFL universe for one of its films, with the approval of the league itself. Based in Kansas City, Hallmark will broadcast “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” which includes aspects of the team’s branding and uses Arrowhead Stadium as a filming location.

Eirene Tran Donohue, known for penning multiple Lifetime holiday movies, crafted the screenplay for “Christmas in the Spotlight“; Michelle Ouellet is the director. The film is being produced by Off Camera Entertainment. Stephanie Slack and Margret Huddleston serve as executive producers, alongside Richard Foster and Chet Fenster from GroupM Motion Entertainment.
