If the perfect holiday movie this season exists, maybe for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, it is this: Lifetime’s new movie “Christmas in the Spotlight”. Composed by Jessica Lord, this movie is inspired by a real-life romance between pop megastar Grammy winner Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce-capturing magic set in a festive backdrop.
A Familiar Feeling of Love – Yet Uniquely Different
In “Christmas in the Spotlight”, Jessica Lord plays Bowyn, a pop star who has always written her songs centred around love but has failed to find the one for herself. Then she meets Drew who is a professional football player played by Laith Wallschleger. Lord knows that the fanfiction will still make the readers resonate well with Swift and Kelce’s story, but she assures that it is not a copy of theirs. “We’re not trying to be them, we could never be them,” Lord explains, according to People.
Lifetime’s *Christmas in the Spotlight* star hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce “love” the movie.
A Tribute to Taylor Swift’s Influence
It is, indeed a special moment for Jessica Lord playing Bowyn because she has always been inspired by Taylor Swift’s music and persona. When younger, her grandparents took her to one of Swift’s concerts. Lord says, “I am just a huge fan. I admire her as a woman in the industry and just as a person generally. She’s so dedicated to her craft, her fans, and the way she gives back… she’s just such a boss.” Playing a character inspired by Swift would be a dream come true for Lord, adding another personal touch to the movie.

A Holiday Movie with a Heart
While “Christmas in the Spotlight” takes its inspiration from the relationship of Swift and Kelce, the movie has a much greater life than that. She hopes that if the couple actually does watch the movie, they will love the warm tribute. “I hope they love it,” she says. “The fact that it would be a warm holiday movie that brings them together would be just so lovely.” As holiday season approaches, “Christmas in the Spotlight” promises to be a feel-good film capturing the essence of love, public adoration, and connection—which is more than enough coming just in time for the holidays.
