Here’s the advice Taylor Swift gave Travis Kelce ahead of his acting debut in ‘Grotesquerie’

She knows a little bit about “lights, camera, bitch smile.”

“Grotesquerie” creator, Ryan Murphy, revealed that Taylor Swift encouraged her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, to pursue a role on the FX show.

“The only thing that [Kelce and I] talked about was that she’s very supportive of him, and if he has an interest, she wanted him to try it,” Murphy told E! News at the show’s New York City premiere earlier this week.

“I was thrilled about that,” Murphy, 58, added.

The high-powered television executive — known for producing hits like “Glee,” “American Horror Story” and “Nip/Tuck” — gushed that he has heard nothing but “sweet, lovely things” about the pop star, 34, from her boyfriend.

“I love her, too,” Murphy admitted.

While Swift was extremely supportive of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s acting debut, Murphy noted that Kelce is a natural-born talent and could be a “big movie star” if he wanted to.

“A star is a star is a star — and he’s a star,” Muphy said. “He’s so charismatic, and he’s so smart, he’s lovely.”

The Emmy-winning producer gave insight into Kelce’s acting process, revealing that he learned everyone else’s lines.

“He had a great discipline, and he is everything you want him to be,” he said. “He’s a leader, and so sweet and so charming, first on the set, last to leave, great team around him.”

Murphy explained that he “worked something up” for Kelce, 34, to appear in the show since the athlete “had a window of time,” and it was “an honor” working with him.”

“The world is his oyster. He can do anything,” Murphy said.

The director isn’t the only collaborator who enjoyed working with Kelce, as his co-star Niecy Nash-Betts also praised the football star’s acting abilities.

“Travis was very open. He was very open on if there was a note given or a suggestion given,” she recently told People, adding that Kelce was “so amenable.”

Nash-Betts, 54, also revealed that crewmembers were “fangirling” over Kelce whenever he was on set.

“All the guys — these big guys on the set, the grips, transpo [sic] — everybody was just fangirling all the way. And I’m like, ‘Oh my god, guys!’” she laughed.

Travis’ mom, Donna Kelce, was also quite taken by her younger son’s performance, telling Page Six that he is “very coachable because he is in sports.”

She also swooned over his relationship with Swift, sharing with us, “He’s kind. He’s generous. And from what I understand, so is she.”

“Grotesquerie” premiered Wednesday on FX and hit Hulu Thursday.
