Breaking news: Taylor Swift’s Boyfriend Is Making His Acting Debut
Travis Kelce is an unexpected addition to Ryan Murphy’s new horror show.
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is going Hollywood. Not to worry Brads, Chads, and dads, Travis Kelce is not leaving the field quite yet (he just signed a massive two-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs). However, he is using the off-season to put his acting chops to the test with a cameo in a new Ryan Murphy show, Grotesquerie.
On Tuesday, actress Niecy Nash, who is starring in the upcoming FX horror drama, surprised Murphy fans, Swifties, and football fanatics by revealing the celebrity who would be joining the series: Kelce. In a video from the set shared to her Instagram, Nash (one of Murphy’s go-to leading ladies) said to the camera, “Guys, guess who I am working with on Grotesquerie?” The Kansas City Chiefs star then walked into the frame smiling and stroking his beard before putting his hand on Nash’s shoulder. “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!” Kelce exclaimed.
This is what happens when WINNERS link up‼️” the Emmy-winning actress wrote (Nash was most recently recognized for her part in Murphy’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. “@killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie!””
Kelce shared the post to his Instagram Story with the caption, “Steppin into a new world with one of the legends @niecynash1.”
Interestingly enough, the last star to take up acting and surprisingly be cast in one of Murphy’s franchises was Kim Kardashian, who starred alongside Emma Roberts in American Horror Story: Delicate. Given Swift and Kardashian’s rocky past, do with that information what you will.
Kelce’s football-to-silver-screen pipeline shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans. The NFL star previously starred in his own dating show on E! called Catching Kelce, and he is hosting an upcoming game show called Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a take on the popular 2007 show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? He also hosted Saturday Night Live after winning the 2023 Super Bowl and made a joint appearance on the late-night sketch show last fall with his girlfriend.
