Taylor Swift may not have been physically present for Travis Kelce’s final day on the set of “Grotesquerie,” but her spirit certainly was. Although filming for the popular Hulu series wrapped over the summer, one of the show’s camera operators shared a touching video of Kelce’s last day on set on Wednesday, revealing a sweet nod to his pop superstar girlfriend.
The TikTok video, which was captioned “Travis’s last day on set. What a gem!”, showed the 35-year-old NFL star embracing and thanking the crew members, demonstrating his genuine gratitude for those who helped bring the show to life.
Set to Swift’s song “The Alchemy,” the clip captured Kelce warmly shaking hands and expressing his appreciation to everyone involved in the production. The scene also featured a charming detail that had fans buzzing—a Swift-themed sticker prominently displayed on one of the cameras.
The sticker showed Taylor Swift in a striking blue bodysuit, performing a signature pose from her song “Vigilante S—t” during her Eras Tour.

While it’s not entirely clear if Kelce himself noticed the Taylor-inspired decal, it was certainly a heartfelt tribute from the crew to honor the connection between Kelce and Swift. The camera operator’s choice to include the sticker highlighted just how much the relationship between the two stars has captured the imaginations of fans worldwide.
In addition to the sticker tribute, “Grotesquerie” director Ryan Murphy previously disclosed that he incorporated another subtle nod to Taylor Swift within the show itself.
In the third episode, Kelce’s character helps Niecy Nash-Betts’s character escape from a hospital in a sleek red convertible. Murphy revealed that this scene was a playful reference to Swift’s 2017 song, “Getaway Car,” drawing inspiration from the song’s themes of escape and adventure.
“That’s a little Taylor Swift nod for you there!” Murphy shared with The Hollywood Reporter, confirming that the connection was intentional. The Emmy-winning director, who specifically created the role on “Grotesquerie” with Kelce in mind, made it clear that he wanted to celebrate the star’s off-screen relationship in a fun and creative way.
Although Murphy has never collaborated directly with Taylor Swift, he expressed great admiration for her talent. “I’ve talked to Taylor’s people about various things over the years, and all I will say is that I think she’s great and if she ever has time to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat,” Murphy said. “I think she’s one of the greats.”
Murphy also admitted to feeling a bit “shy” when talking to Kelce about Swift, but noted that the football star was “very sweet and respectful” when it came to discussing his high-profile relationship. “They are a pop-culture phenomenon,” Murphy said of the power couple. “It’s a very interesting dynamic, the way they’ve captured the imagination of the world.”
Taylor Swift, meanwhile, was reportedly one of Travis Kelce’s biggest supporters when he was first approached about joining the show.
She encouraged him to go for it if he had any interest in acting, providing her support as he transitioned from the football field to the screen. That encouragement helped pave the way for Kelce’s involvement in “Grotesquerie,” and his success on the set has since opened other doors for him.
Following his time on “Grotesquerie,” the three-time Super Bowl champion has also accepted a small role in the upcoming “Happy Gilmore” movie, as well as a hosting gig on the new show “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” Taylor Swift, always by his side, had a front-row seat during the filming of his hosting debut, cheering him on as he took on new challenges.
The relationship between Swift and Kelce has continued to blossom since they began dating last summer. Sources close to the couple suggest that they are incredibly happy together, and that they may be looking to take the next step in their relationship “soon.”
Whether it’s through their professional endeavors or their loving support for one another, the couple’s bond has become one of the most talked-about romances in pop culture, and their connection continues to inspire fans around the globe.
