While his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift resumes her world Eras tour, Travis Kelce is keeping busy.

The NFL player has joined the cast of ā€œGrotesquerie" on FX. The series is a horror drama from Ryan Murphy, but a spokesperson for the network says it is not under the ā€œAmerican Horror Storyā€ umbrella.

Late Tuesday, cast member Niecy Nash posted a series of videos to Instagram featuring her on set with Kelce.

ā€œGuys, guess who I am working with on ā€˜Grotesquerieā€™?" Kelce pops into frame and says, "Jumpinā€™ into new territory with Niecy.ā€ A later video where she wrote ā€œlate night shenanigansā€ showed the two in what appeared to be a red convertible. ā€œLook at this guy,ā€ she says. ā€œBuckle up!ā€ added Kelce.

And a final video featured Murphy embracing Kelce and saying, ā€œYou were wonderful.ā€ Off camera, Nash asks, ā€œHow do you feel?" Kelce replied, ā€œWhoo! I'm just glad I didn't hurt nobody.ā€

It's been an off-season of new jobs for the three-time Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He also taped a stint as host of ā€œAre You Smarter than a Celebrity?ā€ for Prime Video.

Kelce hosted an episode of ā€œSaturday Night Liveā€ last year.

Murphy has a history of interesting casting choices for his TV shows. In 2015, he cast Lady Gaga for a role on ā€œAmerican Horror Story: Hotel.ā€ She went on to win a Golden Globe for her performance. Last year, he also chose Kim Kardashian for a role on ā€œAmerican Horror Story: Delicateā€ opposite Emma Roberts. Kardashian received positive reviews for her performance and now has other acting TV projects in the works.
