She knows a little bit about “light, camera, bitchy 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 (Kelce and I) talked about was that she’s very supportive and that she wants him to try it if he’s interested,” Murphy told E! News at the show’s premiere in New York City earlier this week.

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

The influential television executive – known as the producer of hits such as “Glee,” “American Horror Story” and “Nip/Tuck” – gushed that he had only heard “sweet, nice things” about the 34-year-old pop star 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 talent and could become a “big movie star” if he wanted to.

“A star is a star is a star – and he is a star,” Muphy said. “He is so charismatic and so smart, he is lovable.”

The Emmy-winning producer gave insight into Kelce’s acting process and revealed that he memorized everyone else’s lines.

“He was very disciplined and everything you could want from him,” he said. “He’s a leader and so sweet and charming. He’s the first on set and the last to leave. He has a great team around him.”

Murphy said he “worked something out” to get Kelce, 34, to appear on the show because the athlete “had a window of opportunity” and it was “an honor” to work with him.

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

The director is not the only one who enjoyed working with Kelce, as his co-actress Niecy Nash-Betts also praised the football star’s acting skills.

“Travis was very open. He was very open if there was a comment or a suggestion,” she recently told People, adding that Kelce was “so approachable.”

Nash-Betts, 54, also revealed that every time Kelce was on set, crew members swarmed over him like “fangirls.”

“All the guys – those big guys on set, the lighting guys, the transpo (sic) – they were all just fangirls the whole time. And I was like, ‘Oh my God, guys!'” she laughed.

Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, was also very impressed with her younger son’s performance and told Page Six that he was “very teachable because he plays sports.”

She also gushed about his relationship with Swift, telling us, “He’s kind. He’s generous. And from what I know, she is too.”

“Grotesquerie” premiered on FX on Wednesday and came out on Hulu on Thursday.
