Niecy Nash calls Travis Kelce 'easy to flirt with' as Taylor Swift looks on

In a surprising twist ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of Ryan Murphy's new drama series Grotesquerie, actress Niecy Nash has stirred the pot with her candid remarks about flirting with Taylor Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. The 54-year-old actress, who stars alongside the 34-year-old athlete, described her on-set interactions as "easy," leading to rampant speculation about the dynamics of their collaboration.

A flirtation born from art

"I was born to flirt, so that part is easy," Nash quipped in an interview with UsWeekly, igniting buzz about the chemistry between the two. Their roles-a detective and a nun facing off against heinous crimes-add layers of complexity to the flirtation that viewers will undoubtedly be eager to explore.

Travis Kelce, known for his charm, portrays a character who undergoes a significant transformation. "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," Nash explained, hinting at the multifaceted nature of their performances.

Behind the scenes

Nash's collaboration with Ryan Murphy, creator of both Grotesquerie and the previous series Monster, is also a focal point. She emphasized the importance of their working relationship, stating, "It's built on three things: love, respect, and foolishness." This light-hearted approach not only contributes to the series but also raises questions about the boundary between professional and personal interactions in Hollywood.

Taylor Swift's support: A game changer?

As Kelce embraces his new role in acting, Ryan Murphy recently highlighted the supportive nature of Taylor Swift regarding her boyfriend's artistic endeavors. "If he has an interest, she wanted him to try it," Murphy noted to E! News, making it clear that Swift's encouragement plays a crucial role in Kelce's transition from the football field to the small screen.
