Taylor Swift was there in spirit for Travis Kelce’s final day on set of “Grotesquerie.”
While filming for the hit Hulu series wrapped over the summer, one of the show’s camera operators shared a video of Kelce’s last day on set Wednesday — which featured a sweet nod to his pop star girlfriend.
“Travis’s last day on set. What a gem!” the TikTok user captioned a video of the tight end, 35, hugging and thanking the crew.
The clip, set to Swift’s song “The Alchemy,” showed Kelce shaking hands and sharing his appreciation with the camera operators, one of whose cameras was adorned with a sticker of Swift.
The Swift-themed sticker showed her in a blue bodysuit with her leg up on a chair, a move from her “Vigilante S—t” performance during the Eras Tour.
While it’s unclear if Kelce ever noticed the decal, director Ryan Murphy previously revealed he incorporated another “nod” to the singer in the show.
In the third episode, Kelce’s character helped Niecy Nash-Betts’s character escape the hospital in a red convertible — or “getaway car,” according to Murphy.
The Emmy-winning director, who created the show with Kelce in mind, told The Hollywood Reporter that the scene was partly inspired by Swift’s 2017 song, “Getaway Car.”
“That’s a little Taylor Swift nod for you there!” he told the outlet.
Although Murphy has never worked with Swift, he said his door is always open.
“I’ve talked to Taylor’s people about various things through 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,” he shared. “I think she’s one of the greats.”
Although Murphy felt a bit “shy talking to Travis about her,” he said the NFL star was “very sweet about it and respectful.”
“They are a pop-culture phenomenon,” he said of the power couple. “It’s a very interesting dynamic, the way they’ve captured the imagination of the world.”
Swift was one of Kelce’s biggest supporters when he was first approached about the role, encouraging him to give it a try if he had any “interest” in acting.
From there, the three-time Super Bowl champion also accepted a small role in the new “Happy Gilmore” movie and a hosting gig on “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?,” where Swift had a front-row seat during filming.
The happy couple began dating last summer and are expected to take the next step “soon.”
