Taylor Swift in talks for Ryan Murphy project amid boyfriend Travis Kelce starring in Grotesquerie
Ryan Murphy has revealed he’s been in talks with Taylor Swift’s team over the years about potentially collaborating with the songstress.
The legendary TV producer, 58, revealed he has spoken with ‘Taylor’s people’ about ‘various things’ over the years – and would team up with the pop icon ‘in a heartbeat’ if she was able to work with him.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy, 58, was asked if he was attempting to cast Swift on season two of Grotesquerie, his latest show that features the singer’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, or had ever pitched an idea to her.
The singer, 34, has been dating the Kansas City Chiefs player, 35, for over a year now, a relationship Murphy described as a ‘pop-culture phenomenon.’

‘I was so shy talking to Travis about her. But he’s very sweet about it and respectful. They are a pop-culture phenomenon. It’s a very interesting dynamic, the way they’ve captured the imagination of the world.’
The producer also praised Kelce’s work in Grotesquerie.
‘But I always knew Travis could do it. I have this saying: A star is a star is a star. I just knew he could do it.
‘He rolls up his sleeves and he says, “Ok, let’s do this.” There’s that last scene of [Kelce and Nash-Betts] in episode three that I directed where they go in the red getaway car — that’s a little Taylor Swift nod for you there! — and they drive off to this black limbic space, which makes absolutely no sense. But it does make sense now, because you know [Lois] is in a coma.’
Should Taylor ever appear in one of Ryan’s shows, it wouldn’t be her first time acting – she’s appeared in the movie musical Cats, the 2022 film Amsterdam, and on an episode of New Girl.

In Grotesquerie, Kelce plays Ed Lachlan, a recovering drug addict working as a nurse and is a potential love interest for Niecy Nash-Betts’ character, Detective Lois Tryon.
