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.
