Travis Kelce speaks about Taylor Swift’s favorite movie
During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce, alongside his brother Jason Kelce, shared his humorous take on Taylor Swift’s favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually.
The conversation began when Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, suggested Love Actually for their podcast’s Film Club review. The rom-com, featuring Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley, is a favorite of Taylor Swift’s. However, Travis quickly declined, saying, “Yeah, don’t f***ing torture me; torture your husband. I’m an innocent bystander here, Ky.”
Jason Kelce backed his brother, adding with a laugh, “I think we can both probably agree we’re not doing Love Actually.” Their reluctance to watch the film showcased the Kelce family’s close bond and playful banter about holiday traditions.
Taylor Swift has previously called Love Actually a holiday favorite. In an interview with Teen Vogue, she said the film embodies her motto: “If you look around, love actually is all around.” The rom-com, a festive classic, resonates with Swift and her fans, blending her personal life with cultural moments.
Though Travis Kelce isn’t eager to review Love Actually, he admitted to appreciating Hugh Grant’s work more recently. He clarified that he didn’t dislike the movie but prefers other holiday films for his viewing.
The couple, who started dating in 2023, plan to celebrate Christmas with their families. This follows a Thanksgiving hosted by Swift in her Nashville home.
