Is Christmas in the spotlight about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?
While the film seems loosely inspired by Swift and Kelce’s love story, lead actress Jessica Lord promises she’s not trying to be Taylor, nor is Wallschleger trying to be Travis.
“We’re not trying to be them, we could never be them,” she said. “They’re these incredible, inspiring stars [and] I think so many people look up to them and their love for each other.”
Nevertheless, the film’s plot bears a striking similarity to the story surrounding Swift and Kelce’s love story: a famous football player falls for an even more famous pop star and the two enter into a whirlwind relationship.
