Lifetime’s ‘Christmas in the Spotlight’ takes inspiration from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s real-life romance
Lifetime’s Christmas in the Spotlight is inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance — and the holiday film crafted the perfect alchemy of Easter eggs for fans to uncover.
Does it maybe feel like you’ve seen this film before? Well, you have, but hopefully you’ll like the ending. Swift and Kelce came together in a similar way after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end declared on this “New Heights” podcast last spring that he attempted to meet Swift at her Eras Tour to pass on his phone number. His plan failed, but Swift was impressed, and the pair sparked a romance shortly after.
So, how similar is Bowyn and Drew’s romance to Swift and Kelce’s? Keep scrolling for all the similarities — and differences — from the pairs’ respective love stories.Something Christmas in the Spotlight highlights from start to finish is Bowyn’s power as not just a musical artist, but a businesswoman. She directs her own music videos, writes her own music and calls her own shots along with her manager .
Another — and possibly unintentional — overlap is that at the start of Christmas in the Spotlight, Drew is struggling with his game. Kelce, too, had a bit of a slow start for the 2024-2025 season.Drew’s family closely resembles the Kelces in the film, with Drew being close to his brother who is both married and has a daughter. In real life, Jason is married to wife Kylie, and the pair share three daughters with a fourth on the way.
Hudson feels like an amalgamation of Swift’s worst exes. And while his character is pretty generalized, the movie does mention him refusing to walk with her on “red carpets.” Before Kelce, Swift barely attended public events with her partners, most notably avoiding the spotlight during her six-year romance with ex Joe Alwyn.
