Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are taking on Hollywood next
America's favorite couple Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will take a spin behind the camera on some upcoming films
Aux News Travis Kelce
Is this what they call a “power couple”? Fresh off the Super Bowl, both Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce are making big moves in Hollywood. (This amounts to basically a lucrative side hustle for the singer and the football player.) According to Variety, Kelce is producing his first film, My Dead Friend Zoe, which will premiere next month at the SXSW film festival. The movie is also unique for being the first to take advantage of renewable energy tax credits from President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, so everyone spinning conspiracies about Kelce, Biden, and Swift are sure to react very normally to this news.
The dark comedy My Dead Friend Zoe stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Natalie Morales, Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman, and “follows a female Afghanistan veteran who comes head-to-head with her Vietnam vet grandfather at the family’s ancestral lake house,” per Variety. This is the first movie Kelce has executive produced, working alongside Mike Field and Ray Maiello; the trio will next use the same tax credit strategy for the Jean-Michel Basquiat documentary King Pleasure directed by Quinn Wilson.
Meanwhile, Matthew Belloni of Puck reported last week that Kelce’s megastar girlfriend will begin filming her long-awaited directorial debut once her Eras Tour concludes. Swift’s collaboration with Searchlight Pictures, which she will direct from her own original script, was announced back in December 2022. The Eras Tour currently has dates through December 2024, so filming won’t begin until 2025 at the earliest. (In the meantime, we’ll presumably get one or two self-directed music videos for The Tortured Poets Department.)
Of course, neither Swift nor Kelce are strangers to Hollywood. Beyond the many commercials he’s done, Kelce also starred in the short-lived Showtime comedy Moonbase 8 alongside Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, and John C. Reilly. Swift, meanwhile, has a string of not-so-great movies under her belt, including The Giver, Cats, and Amsterdam. As the duo seeks to continue the path towards world domination, it only makes sense that they’d next turn to the silver screen.

I can’t wait to see Kid Rock and Gina Carano’s fascist response to the all American couple emerge from the muck of the Republican Upside Down. Some right wing idiot would bankroll that.
Horror comedy is an under exploited genre they are perfect for.
Have you seen what passes for right wing comedy? Perfect is not the word I would put anywhere near their work
Laughing at someone is a lot different than laughing with someone. I definitely laugh at horrible right wingers.
And those horrible right wingers get a kick out of you angry little gender fascist incels…. Everything balances out.
Who gives a shit what fascist apologists think
That darn “fascist” Gina Carano. Women should just shut up and stay in the kitchen, eh? That “bleep bloop” comment was simply unforgivable – while all the angry incels that hate her for no good reason are clearly rational adults.Get some fresh air, ya little bleep bloop.
Something weird about my DEAD friend ZOE. I personally work with someone who said they were a producer of this movie several months ago.
Geez, that family is dick riding Taylor hard.
Chris Rock: “oh, so you’re the executive producer? Well, why don’t you executive produce me a latte?”
Oh good, I was worried these two were going to go two goddamn seconds without their stranglehold on popular culture at large.
