KANSAS CITY — On this week’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason had Travis’ “Grotesquerie” co-star Niecy Nash in for a Halloween chinwag. The 54-year-old actress admitted people text her all the time about Travis’ dalliance with pop songstress Taylor Swift, and she always tells ’em to mind their own business. “I appreciate you always,” Travis said. “And every time someone that has a mic in front of you always asks you something like that, thank you for always showing up. You know it’s real, and you know that me and Tay are absolutely happy.” Niecy did, however, get in Travis’ ass for ignoring her text messages about Grotesquerie. Turns out, he had a good reason. “Travis, I’m so glad that you texted me and told me you had a new phone number because I’ve been texting your number,” Niecy said.

“[I was] just gassing you up, telling you, ‘you did so good.’ I was asking you like, ‘What did your teammates … what’d your people say [about Grotesquerie]? How you feeling about it? Did you watch it?’ And you know what I got? Crickets.”

Travis, 35, said he had no choice but to change his number. Mothaf*ckas kept gettin’ on his nerves, and he couldn’t take it anymore. But he let Niecy know he wasn’t ghosting her. “You know me better than that,” Travis said. “It was getting crazy. … I was finally in a show with someone as amazing as you. I had everybody hitting me up, blowing me up. I had to switch it up on them.”

Grotesquerie is a television crime series on FX.

Niecy plays Detective Lois Tryon and Travis portrays male stripper Ed Laclan.

Lois is married.

But, if I’m not mistaken, I believe Ed ends up f*ckin’ her — even though she’s old enough to be his mother.

When asked what his teammates thought of his role as an exotic dancer, Travis replied: “They’re very interested in the dynamic on the show, like, everybody is kind of like mind blown on what’s really going on during the show. So that is kind of taking everybody’s mind away from me as an actor.”

Watch Travis and Niecy break it down.

  1. I love Ms Nash. I’m so glad she got this role. I hope the series runs many seasons.

  2. Travis is in love with Taylor who’s transgender and Niecy is married to a woman. The LGBT community must be proud. 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

  3. @thenet9537: I agree. His acting is not great at times but his character is very light and fun!

  4. Travis must stop this Hollywood nonsense and focus on football to secure his legacy. Why would anyone risk years of hard work over fame and money cos he already has those without Hollywood.
    He will sink into depression if he loses football, so he better start thinking of his future since he doesn’t have a long one in Hollywood. Those images of him on the field when he wasn’t playing well were depressing. And these hot scenes in movies didn’t do much for Taylor and Joe’s relationship. He better think about it. He is worth more in football than this path he is chasing.

  5. I don’t usually watch scary stuff. I will admit, I watched this to see how Travis Kelce would do. I like his ad work, especially Subway lol. I’m so enthralled with this whole freaky show that im recording the season. WTG Travis 🎉
