Lifetime’s Christmas in the Spotlight Star Hopes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ‘Love’ the Movie: ‘We’re Not Trying to Be Them’ (Exclusive)
Jessica Lord plays Bowyn, a famous pop star inspired by Swift in the new holiday movie
If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce decide to snuggle up on the couch and watch a made-for-TV holiday movie this season, Jessica Lord hopes it’s Christmas in the Spotlight.
Lord, 26, stars in the Lifetime movie, which is inspired by the famous couple’s real life love story. In the movie, the Find Me in Paris actress plays pop star Bowyn, who “despite always singing about love and relationships, hasn’t found Mr. Right yet,” per the official synopsis. That all changes when she meets professional football player Drew (Laith Wallschleger) backstage at one of her concerts. Soon, sparks fly and the whole world is watching as the two major celebrities embark on a new relationship in the public eye just in time for the holidays.
The story is a familiar one for anyone who has been following Swift and Kelce’s romance since the Grammy winner and Kansas City Chiefs tight end began publicly dating in October 2023. However, Lord tells PEOPLE that Christmas in the Spotlight is a loving homage to the couple, not an exact retelling of their love story’s fairytale beginning.
“We’re not trying to be them, we could never be them,” the British-Canadian actress explains. “They’re these incredible, inspiring stars [and] I think so many people look up to them and their love for each other.”
