Travis Kelce to Star in Ryan Murphy's Horror Series 'Grotesquerie'

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, is expanding his career into acting with a role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming FX horror series "Grotesquerie." The series, which has begun production, features a notable cast including Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville. This will mark Kelce's first significant acting role, although he has previously appeared on "Saturday Night Live" and in an episode of the Showtime series "Moonbase 8."

Aside from his foray into acting, Kelce has also ventured into executive producing with the indie film "My Dear Friend Zoe." While he is making moves in the entertainment industry, Kelce continues his athletic career, having recently signed a new deal with the Chiefs that made him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.

The news of Kelce's casting was shared on social media by Niecy Nash-Betts, highlighting his involvement in the horror drama. His off-field activities come amidst speculation about his personal life, with rumors of him dating singer Taylor Swift. Kelce's new pursuits coincide with his brother, Jason Kelce, joining ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcast team this fall.
