Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s epic romance has already inspired an upcoming Hallmark movie – Indianapolis News | Indiana Weather | Indiana Traffic

(CNN) — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s on-field embrace at the Super Bowl earlier this year looked like the stuff of a romantic comedy. And now it’s becoming just that.

Well, sort of.

The Hallmark Channel, along with the NFL, Skydance Sports and the Kansas City Chiefs — aka the team Kelce plays football for — announced Tuesday that they have partnered to produce an upcoming Christmas movie called “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story,” with production set to begin next month.

“Holiday Touchdown” follows Alana Higman (Hunter King), who “is sure that her family’s lifelong experience as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them favorites for the team’s ‘Fan of the Year’ contest,” according to a press release. Derrick (Tyler Hynes), the team’s director of fan engagement, is tasked with judging how Alana’s family fares, and “as the two spend time together, it becomes clear that there’s a spark between them.”

According to the press release, the film will honor the Chiefs’ hometown by being shot entirely in Kansas City, including at the team’s home stadium, GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Romance took center stage at many of the Chiefs’ games last year. Swift and Kelce became friends in September and the pop megastar was seen at several games to support the Super Bowl champion, who serves as the team’s star tight end.
