Jessica Lord and Laith Wallschleger recreate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s iconic love story in Lifetime’s ‘Christmas in the Spotlight’
Starring in a holiday film inspired by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance is no small feat — and Christmas in the Spotlight stars Jessica Lord and Laith Wallschleger made sure they were up for the challenge.
If that all sounds familiar, it should; the story is inspired by Swift and Kelce’s real-life romance, which began in a similar fashion in summer 2023 and has been a global sensation ever since. While Lord and Wallschleger aren’t playing Swift and Kelce exactly in the movie, it’s impossible not to see the similarities — and both actors understood the responsibility that came with being likened to two American treasures.
Lord credits Bowyn’s career driven attitude toward her estranged relationship with her parents in the movie — a plot point that steers away from Swift’s own close bond with her family. Fans would agree that dynamic parallels what Kelce has brought to Swift’s life, as well. Christmas in the Spotlight is filled with those type of nods to the couple, from recreating milestones in their romance to working Swift song titles into the dialogue.
