The most talked-about Lifetime movie in a looooong time is finally here. But is it worth watching?? Taylor Swift fans have some pretty strong opinions…
For those who haven’t heard, Christmas In The Spotlight is a classic holiday rom com about a mismatched couple — only this time the couple from different worlds are a big football star and the most famous pop singer in the world. Yeah. It’s base on Tay and Travis Kelce. And it’s not subtle about it either! LOLz!
Now that it’s out, you know a lot of Swifties had to see just what they were dealing with. Apart from the common observation that they somehow cast actors who look like Brittany Mahomes and Rob Gronkowski instead, opinions are all over the place!

Many call it “cringe”, some couldn’t even finish… and others can’t stop laughing with the flick, which they reckon is clearly written by a fellow Swiftie! Here are some from X (Twitter):
“Everyone go watch the tayvis lifetime movie. I’m dying”
“I tried watching that Christmas in the spotlight movie I couldn’t even finish omg taylor sue”
“This thing is soo cringe fr… Feel depressing and traumatizing … Lol”
“I watched this movie yesterday. It was awful. Like really bad.”
“I tried but twenty minutes was more than enough 
”
“I both hate and love this”
“This is just a comedy for Swifties and no one else would understand”
And Letterboxd:
“Lowkey watching this high and thought the fake Taylor Swift was giving an Oscar worthy performance. Brava”
“This was exactly as bad as I needed it to be 
”
“a swifty/tiktok gym bro fever dream of a film”
“would’ve gotten 1 full star if they named the manager Leaf Joy and showcased a surprise Dianna Agron character to shake things up”
“this actually works because he doesn’t know how to ball and she doesn’t know aristotle”
“she’s gonna see this and never give us rep tv”
Hahahaha! Clearly your mileage may vary! But how unsubtle is the movie really? Oh, it’s BLATANT! LOLz!
“watching christmas in the spotlight and this might be one of the worst lifetime movies i’ve ever seen but the amount of taylor references is insane”
“her songs titles being used many times ”
“This movie is literally just ‘how many Taylor swift references can we make while also overstepping on of any morals or her boundaries'”
“If you’re not doing a drinking game for every TS reference then you’re watching this movie the wrong way “

LOLz!
We’re so curious what Taylor herself will say about the movie, which a source claimed — as a devoted holiday rom com junkie — she was probably going to watch! LOLz! Have YOU seen? Let us know what you think in the comments (below)!
