Hunter King subtly pays homage to Taylor Swift in ‘Holiday Touchdown’ movie

Actress Hunter King is about to live the dream of every Swiftie.

Her new movie, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, premieres on the Hallmark Channel on November 30.

And as you might have guessed, it’s inspired by the romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

Hunter King Says Upcoming Film Pays Tribute to Taylor Swift

The film might not have the official endorsement of Taylor and Travis, but fans will surely recognize that it was conceived with the A-list couple in mind.

There’s even a cameo from Donna Kelce!

Hunter plays a lifelong Chiefs fan who wants to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest. The judge? The Chiefs’ director of fan engagement (and Hunter’s new love interest), played by Hallmark veteran Tyler Hynes.

“As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them but when her grandfather’s vintage Chiefs good-luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary,” reads a synopsis from Hallmark.

A Chiefs Story That Anyone Can Enjoy

“Whether or not you’re a Chiefs fan, I think you’ll be able to relate to this movie in some capacity,” Hunter tells Life & Style.

“I feel like there’s just subtle little nods to things [related to] Travis and Taylor.

“Taylor fans might like, like, [Tyler’s] last name in the movie. There’s just certain, like, little tiny Easter eggs, as we’ll call them, that I think they’ll have fun hunting for.”

“I think that their love story has inspired the world in a lot of ways and it’s something that everybody’s kind of rooting for,” Tyler chimes in.

“I think there’s a feeling within that that’s certainly captured in the movie. Even though we’re not tackling that storyline head-on, it feels like we’re getting the best of it all.

“We’re telling a multi-generational story that feels very Hallmark and feels very inviting for anybody from any walk of life to join in.”
