You may have heard of the new Hallmark movie Taylor and Travis, which many have described as inspired by the romance between Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. But also the stars of Holiday touchdown They admit that their film, as romantic as it is, can’t hold a candle to the team’s most famous lovebirds.

“There’s nothing you can do about this story,” says Hunter King, who stars in the film as a chief-obsessed small business owner named Avery. “It’s too perfect. We are all so excited about them. It’s almost like its own film. We’re watching it happen in real time.”

But even though the film — which premieres November 30 — isn’t a retelling of Traylor’s romance, it’s still pretty charming and unique. The film is the first collaboration of its kind between the Chiefs and Hallmark Channel, both based in Kansas City. It tells the story of Avery, a Chiefs superfan whose love for the team spans generations. When her family decides to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest, they are judged by Derrick (Tyler Hynes), the team’s director of fan engagement. Predictably, sparks fly.

Even though he doesn’t actually play Kelce, Hynes still took some inspiration from KillaTrav. In particular, his singing of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” at the Super Bowl victory parade earlier this year, which Hynes was able to attend.

With all eyes on the NFL’s hottest team, Chariah Gordon and her group of friends are having fun in the spotlight. Stephanie McNeal spends game day with the Queens of the Chiefs kingdom, chatting about kids, fashion, friendship and, yes, what it’s like to be best friends with Taylor Swift.

“He stood on stage and sang that song and I loved every second of it,” he says. “Throughout the film, I played this song every day on the way to work and I still sing the lyrics.”

Kelce himself does not appear in the film, but several other Chiefs players do. And there’s a special cameo from another Kelce: Travis’ mother (and 2024). Shine (Woman of the Year) Donna, who King and Hynes agree is a star in the making. King says she should be the star of the hopefully inevitable Holiday touchdown Consequence.

“We hope Donna is ready for this. “We need to make a few phone calls,” she says.

King and Hynes talked Shine about how they became big Chiefs fans during the film, what it’s like to film in a football stadium in the middle of summer wearing hats (not great), and more about their vision for the sequel to their Hallmark movie Taylor and Travis.
