The full trailer for “Grotesquerie” dropped Wednesday and Travis Kelce seems like a total freak, in character and out of it.
Unless you’re actually crazy, there is no denying that NFL star-turned-Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is profoundly handsome. All of that attraction will fall away in an instant while watching the chilling trailer for “Grotesquerie.”
“There’s no future after this,” a numb, soulless Kelce says, like he’s drugged … or possessed. And I hate to say it, he looks like he might actually have a knack for this acting thing.
Either that, or this is the one clip the editors were able to use of Kelce for the trailer.
“Grotesquerie” comes to us from “American Horror Story” visionary Ryan Murphy, the chap who put Kim Kardashian in her first acting role. While Kardashian’s performance in “AHS” wasn’t terrible, let’s not pretend it was great. (RELATED: Department Of Wildlife Conservation Absolutely Rips Taylor Swift Over Travis Kelce)
But unlike Kardashian, Kelce doesn’t even really look quite like himself in the trailer for his first major acting role. The certainly sets up high expectations for horror fans, so let’s hope Kelce can deliver.

Even if he can’t act, Kelce is helped by the fact Niecy Nash-Betts is in the leading role. I truly believe everything that woman touches turns to gold. (RELATED: ‘American Sports Story’ Sounds Like It Will Be A Must-Watch)
The story follows ” a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community,” investigated by Nash-Betts’ character, who “feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan. However, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”
The series premieres on September 25. It looks gross.
