Niecy Nash found it ‘easy’ to flirt with Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce on Grotesquerie

Niecy Nash has said that she found ‘easy’ to flirt with Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce while acting together onscreen.  

The 54-year-old actress stars alongside NFL player Travis, 34, in Ryan Murphy’s drama series Grotesquerie – which follows a detective and a nun tackling a series of heinous crimes – and admitted that she was ‘born to flirt’ so had no problem doing so on set with the A-list sports star.

‘I was born to flirt, so that part is easy. The blessing about this particular show for an actor is that most of the characters play,’ she told UsWeekly.

‘Travis went from being a charming person who worked at the hospital to being down and out on his luck guy who has a mullet.’

Niecy also starred in Ryan’s Monster series – which followed the crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer – and praised the Glee creator and explained that their working relationship is mostly based on the ‘foolishness’ between the pair.

She said: ‘Ryan and I have a great relationship. It’s built on three things: love, respect, and foolishness.’

‘The third one is really what keeps us going. But Lois went on a journey and when you meet her, she’s at the height of her addiction.

‘She is so close to her rock bottom.’

Meanwhile, Travis is currently dating pop megastar Taylor Swift and showrunner Ryan recently noted that the ‘Anti-Hero’ songstress has been ‘very supportive’ when it comes to his acting debut in the role of Ed Laclan.

Ryan told E! News: ‘The only thing that [Travis and I] talked about was that she’s very supportive of him, and if he has an interest, she wanted him to try it. 

‘I was thrilled about that. I love her too!’

Ryan also confirmed that Travis had paid tribute to Taylor in the show.

Following weeks of speculation that the show’s third episode paid homage to the 34-year-old popstar’s 2017 hit track, Getaway Car.

While referring to the scene that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and Niecy attempt to flee the hospital together in a dream-like sequence, the prolific producer told THR that the pair’s ‘red getaway car’ is ‘a little Taylor Swift nod.’ 

As for whether Swift may make an appearance in season two of Grotesquerie or another one of Murphy’s projects, the Glee creator revealed he has ‘talked to Taylor’s people about various things through the years.’ 

‘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,’ he raved. ‘I think she’s one of the greats. I was so shy talking to Travis about her. But he’s very sweet about it and respectful.’
