Travis Kelce “actually enjoyed” watching “Love Actually.”

The NFL player reviewed Taylor Swift’s favorite Christmas movie on his “New Heights” podcast Tuesday at his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce’s request.

While Travis, 35, called the 2003 film “torture” in last week’s episode, he changed his tune on the “very interesting” and “fun” plot.

However, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end told listeners on Christmas Eve that all of the “scandal” portrayed in the various storylines was “terrifying” to watch.

“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 went on to call the movie “far-fetched,” noted that he “couldn’t relate to anybody onscreen” and denied that it should be considered a Christmas movie.

Kylie, 32, shared her love of the classic, while her husband, Jason Kelce, repeatedly panned it — and decried being “forced” to watch.

“I’m giving an honest review, not swayed by an ulterior motive,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center, 37, said. “That’s what you get from Jason Kelce.”

Swift, 35, spoke about “Love Actually” in a Teen Vogue interview in May 2014.

At the time, the pop star gushed, “If you look around, love actually is all around.”

More recently, Swift praised one of the movie’s stars, Hugh Grant, in June when he tweeted about attending one of her Eras Tour shows in London — and doing tequila shots with Travis.

“As a long time Hugh Grant stan this tweet is very important to my culture,” the Grammy winner replied via X.

Travis, who has been dating Swift since last summer, conceded last week that he does enjoy Grant’s recent work.

On Tuesday, the Super Bowl winner went on to say that the movie was well-acted and directed, giving scores of 9 and 8, respectively, out of 10.

The episode marked Kylie’s second time on the podcast — and her first since launching her own, “Not Gonna Lie.”

Fans are convinced that Swift is going to make her debut on “New Heights” next month, as Travis and Jason have teased a “very special” guest fans have “long” been waiting for.
