Travis Kelce had a sweet note waiting for him in his locker when he returned to Chiefs HQ after showing up at the Eras tour to support girlfriend Taylor Swift for training camp this week.
Actors Tyler Hynes and Hunter King, who are starring in the upcoming Hallmark movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, revealed Travis’ mom Donna encouraged them to sneak ‘a note into Trav’s locker.’
‘I wrote the lyrics to Friends in Low Places [by Garth Brooks] because he sang it at the [Super Bowl] parade that I was at, and I said, “Don’t ever change,”‘ Hynes said in an interview with People.
His co-star King chimed in, ‘That’s what you wrote?’ to which he responded ‘Yeah. What did you write?’
She explained, ‘I wrote something like, “Thanks for letting us steal your field and your mom.”
Hynes replied, ‘I love that.’
Although Travis doesn’t appear in the Christmas movie, his mom took on a small role as the manager of Kansas City BBQ restaurant Norma & Nic’s.
‘She’s a sweetheart,’ King said of the 71-year-old.
‘She’s lovely and I loved having her on set. She was so fun to talk to.’
It comes a few weeks after the NFL and Skydance Sports confirmed the flick would start filming in July, with production taking place entirely in Kansas City.
In the film, King’s character Alana is ‘sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s ”Fan of the Year” contest,’ according to a Chiefs press release.
The team’s director of fan engagement, Derrick, is charged with deciding if Alana’s family is a strong contender for the contest, and ‘as the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them.’
Hynes, known for his role in ‘The Three Wise Men and a Baby,’ previously appeared alongside Donna in a promo for the NFL earlier this year.
