Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour in Paris, while Travis Kelce prepared for his role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming FX series, Grotesquerie. On the set of the show, Kelce was seen getting his makeup touched up before shooting started, dressed in a black sweater and matching trousers with gold jewelry. His girlfriend, Swift, was debuting a reimagined set during her tour, where she performed new hits from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, including a song believed to reference Kelce, and replicated some of his touchdown dances.
Kelce confirmed his TV debut in Grotesquerie earlier this month, expressing excitement for the new opportunity alongside his co-star, Niecy Nash-Betts. While further casting and plot details about the show have yet to be revealed, Kelce has already had some experience with acting, including a brief stint on an episode of Showtime’s Moonbase 8 and hosting Saturday Night Live in 2023. He also participated in a parody skit about his relationship with Swift on the show, which he reminisced about on his podcast, “New Heights.”
In addition to Grotesquerie, Kelce will also be seen on Prime Video’s new game show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, which he taped recently. Sources have commented on his humorous and witty nature, making him the perfect host for the show. Despite his busy schedule with football and now acting, Kelce still found time to support Swift during her concert in Paris, commenting on her guitarist’s Instagram post. This comes after the couple has been dating since last summer, with Swift making various shout-outs to Kelce during her performances.
As Kelce continues to take on new challenges off the football field, fans are excited to see him in a different light on television. With his charismatic personality and comedic timing, Kelce is poised to make a successful transition into acting. His appearances on Grotesquerie and Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? will showcase different aspects of his talent and provide audiences with a new perspective on the three-time Super Bowl champion. Overall, Kelce’s foray into acting seems to be going smoothly, and fans are eagerly anticipating his upcoming TV projects.
