Niecy Nash-Betts Reveals Her Thoughts on Travis Kelce’s Acting in ‘Grotesquerie’

Niecy Nash-Betts has been in the acting game for nearly 30 years, so better believe she knows what she’s talking about—which is why I was all ears when she spilled the tea on Travis Kelce’s acting skills.

Kelce scored a role opposite Nash-Betts in Ryan Murphy’s new FX horror series, Grotesquerie, marking his first major acting job. So how did he do?

"You know what, I'm pleasantly surprised," Nash-Betts told Entertainment Tonight. "He's doing really well."

Nash-Betts, 54, even dished on what it was like to be a mentor to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and gave deets on the behind-the-scenes atmosphere: It's actually very chill.

The Emmy-award winner described a typical rehearsal as the duo simply, “sitting around eating In-N-Out reading words off a piece of paper.”

When it comes to whether there were any side chats regarding Kelce’s mega pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift, Nash-Betts remained tight-lipped.

“Well now I don't ask and tell! Let me just say that," she quipped.

News that the 34-year-old NFL player would be joining the Grotesquerie cast was announced in early May. The same day of the reveal, Nash-Betts shared a short video clip of herself with the 6-foot-5 baller along with the caption, “This is what happens when WINNERS link up @killatrav Welcome to Grostequerie!”

Kelce can also be heard excitedly saying, “Jumping into new territory.”
