“Couldn't relate”: Travis Kelce did not mince words when it came to his feelings on watching Taylor Swift's favourite movie Love Actually

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently spoke about his take on the movie Love Actually, despite calling it "torture" at first. He said that it was Taylor Swift's favorite Christmas movie and that the plot was "fun." Kelce also said that the film was "very interesting" and "fun." The pop superstar's love for the film did not change her boyfriend's mind as he and Jason strongly criticize it, while sister-in-law Kylie Kelce tries to defend it.
Travis Kelce reviewed Taylor Swift's favorite Christmas movie, "Love Actually," on his New Heights podcast.He called the 2003 film "torture" at first but later said it was "very interesting" and "fun." But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said all of the "scandal" portrayed in the various storylines was "terrifying" to watch, he told listeners on Christmas Eve.

“What’s crazy is that all of these stories tie together in one community, and it’s supposed to make it look like this is what happens,” he said. “Like, this is what’s going on around you.” Travis deemed the movie "far-fetched," unable to relate to the characters on screen, and denied it should be considered a Christmas movie. Jason Kelce also criticized the movie's "family values," specifically highlighting a scene where a character cheats on her husband with his brother.
Travis further stated, "I didn't feel Christmas at all during the movie," and he and his brother Jason both denied it could even be considered a Christmas movie. On the other hand, Jason's wife Kylie Kelce was shocked by Jason and Travis' harsh critique of the film, which stars Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley, Alan Rickman, Martin Freeman, Laura Linney, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Bill Nighy.
Despite the Kelce brothers’ criticism, she insisted, "Love Actually is one of my favorite movies. Period." She rolled her eyes as Jason discussed his dislike for the film and a key reason he may not appreciate its charm. "I'm realizing that is the problem here. He wouldn't know romance if it smacked him square in the face," Kylie said of her husband.
Swift, in a 2014 Teen Vogue interview, used a quote from Love Actually as her personal motto. At the time, the pop star gushed, “If you look around, love actually is all around.” Love Actually is a 2003 British Christmas romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The Christmas film features an ensemble cast, composed predominantly of British actors, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous projects.
The story of Love Actually begins six weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place in the New Year. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment released the film on Blu-ray in November 2009. The film was released on Ultra HD Blu-ray on 21 November 2023 for the film's 20th anniversary, featuring a 4K restoration.
