Hallmark Stars on How ‘Trav & Taylor’ Influenced Chiefs Movie, Read what people says about it 👇
Last month, the Hallmark channel announced production for the movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, starring Hunter King and Tyler Hynes.
The Christmas movie, which already started production in Kansas City, Missouri, is not based on Kelce and Swift’s relationship.
However, in an exclusive interview with Heavy Sports at the 2024 ESPYs, Hynes credited the immense popularity surrounding the famous couple for fast-tracking the movie, along with the viral success of the “Falling for Football” postseason commercial, which he also starred in.
“The whole thing happened pretty quick,” Hynes, 38, said. “Because of this sudden spark that was lit with the postseason commercial we shot last season.
And since that moment, that’s when the conversations really began to happen. And here we are.”
At the same time, Kelce and Swift appear to be living out a rom-com in real life. “We love them.
Their love story has obviously ignited a big reaction in all the different sort of fandoms around the world,” Hynes continued. “I think it’s just the kind of perfect timing for all the above.
Hallmark being what is, Chiefs being who they are, Trav and Taylor being so in love. We’re all here for it.”
As for the viral reaction to the movie’s announcement, “I knew that it was going to be hit,” King, 30, said.
“But to just see the amount of excitement, and how excited people were to share the news, it was really touching to us.”
