Swift Romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Fueling Upcoming Hallmark Production
Alrighty then.
The Hallmark Channel, alongside the NFL, Skydance Sports, and the Kansas City Chiefs, who's the team that Kelce plays footie for, have teamed up to create an upcoming Christmas flick dubbed "Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story." Production will kick off next month.
This movie revolves around Alana Higman (Hunter King), who reckons her family's long-standing support for the Kansas City Chiefs as fans gives them an edge in winning the team's "Fan of the Year" competition. Derrick (Tyler Hynes), the team's fan engagement director, is assigned to assess Alana's family's devotion, and as they spend more time together, it's evident that there's some chemistry between them.
As per the press release, the filming of "Holiday Touchdown" will take place entirely in Kansas City, including at the Chiefs' home stadium, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Last year, numerous Chiefs games saw a dash of romance when Swift and Kelce started dating in September, and Swift was often spotted at games cheering on her boyfriend, the team's star tight end.
Since then, their relationship has turned into a show for all, with the couple frequently appearing at each other's events. Most recently, Kelce made a stage appearance at Swift's gig in London on Sunday, a day after the pair went public on Instagram.
Although the narrative of "Holiday Touchdown" doesn't mirror Kelce and Swift's ongoing romance exactly, it's reasonable to assume that this Hallmark movie may have been motivated by it—especially given the Chiefs' active participation.
The announcement doesn't disclose whether Swift and Kelce are directly involved in the project or have endorsed it, but CNN has reached out to their reps for a comment.
It appears that Christmas can't come fast enough this year, as "Holiday Touchdown" seems like an ideal celebration for Chiefs fans everywhere.
