NFL star Travis Kelce has officially been cast in Ryan Murphy’s latest FX series, Grotesquerie, as hospital employee Ed “Eddie” Laclan. Known for his football prowess with the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelce is expanding his entertainment career with this new acting role. Meanwhile, Murphy has teased the possibility of a future collaboration with Taylor Swift, adding even more excitement to the project.
Ryan Murphy Adds NFL Star Travis Kelce to Grotesquerie Cast
Travis Kelce, who is dating global pop sensation Taylor Swift, has taken on a new challenge as he steps into the role of Eddie Laclan in Ryan Murphy’s highly anticipated FX series Grotesquerie. In this dark and thrilling show, Kelce’s character, a flirty yet helpful hospital worker, becomes entwined in a series of disturbing crimes.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy shared his enthusiasm for Kelce’s role, saying, “Travis has great energy, and I think people are going to love seeing him in this new light.”
Taylor Swift Could Be Next in Ryan Murphy’s TV Universe
Ryan Murphy didn’t stop at casting Kelce in Grotesquerie. The TV creator has long been interested in working with Taylor Swift and revealed that he’s reached out to her team several times over the years. “I’ve talked to Taylor’s people about various things through the years, and all I will say is that I think she’s great and if she ever has time to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat,” Murphy said.
Murphy even made a subtle nod to Swift in Grotesquerie's third episode, when Kelce’s character and Niecy Nash-Betts’ character hop into a red getaway car — a playful reference to Swift’s Red album and her song “Getaway Car.”
What to Expect from FX’s Grotesquerie Series
Grotesquerie follows Detective Lois Tryon (played by Niecy Nash-Betts) as she investigates a series of chilling crimes that unsettle a small community. With no clear leads and feeling personally targeted, Tryon seeks the help of Sister Megan, only to find herself further entangled in a sinister mystery. The series airs Thursdays on FX.
Murphy’s newest project promises to deliver the same gripping storytelling and dark twists that fans have come to expect from his work.
Kelce’s Growing Entertainment Career Beyond the NFL
Grotesquerie is just one of many entertainment ventures Travis Kelce has recently taken on. In addition to his acting role, Kelce is set to host Prime Video’s upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of the popular Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?. In this series, contestants will rely on celebrities to help answer elementary-school-level questions in hopes of winning $100,000.
Kelce’s growing entertainment presence shows that the NFL champion is as comfortable in front of the camera as he is on the field.
Murphy Teases Swift References in Grotesquerie
In episode three of Grotesquerie, Ryan Murphy made a subtle but unmistakable nod to Taylor Swift, using a red getaway car as a clever reference to her hit album Red and the track “Getaway Car.” While Swift hasn’t officially joined the project, Murphy’s ongoing admiration for the pop star suggests that a future collaboration might be on the horizon.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Swift, who has dabbled in acting before, will eventually make her way into Murphy’s TV universe.
Taylor Swift’s Previous Acting Roles
Taylor Swift is no stranger to the world of acting. Over the years, she has appeared in films such as Valentine’s Day (2010), Cats (2019), and Amsterdam (2022). Although her acting roles have been sporadic, Swift has proven that her talents extend beyond music.
Murphy’s willingness to work with Swift raises the possibility that fans could see her take on more significant acting projects in the future — potentially alongside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in Grotesquerie.
