The love story makes it sell. That of one of the biggest pop stars in the world, even more so. Taylor Swift and her love story with American football player Travis Kelce served as inspiration for two Christmas films, the first of which was broadcast on American television on Saturday, November 23.
The film, directed by Michelle Ouellet, a regular at Christmas films, is called… Christmas in the spotlight – Christmas in the Spotlight in original version. The title role was entrusted to the British actress and dancer Jessica Lord, while that of her companion was played by the American Laith Wallschleger, both relatively unknown on our side of the Atlantic.
The script of this film which claims to have been inspired by Taylor Swift? A popular singer and a professional football star begin dating, but their budding romance is publicly and closely scrutinized. As their feelings grow, can their romance last in the spotlight, especially with both of them having such busy schedules?
Love story at the Kansas City Chiefs
According to the American press, whose Hollywood Reportera second film of the genre would have been inspired by this romance. Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Storyby John Putch and produced by the NFL, the national football league, officially makes no direct reference to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
However, the story of the Christmas movie is that of a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs American football team – that of lover of the star – falling in love with a man working for the team. The doubt is all the more permissible since Travis Kelce’s own mother plays in this film.
