Fans of Taylor Swift are once again piecing together clues, this time linking an episode from Travis Kelce’s role in the series Grotesquerie to one of Swift’s songs. After the airing of episode 3, many Swifties took to social media, speculating that Kelce’s character’s actions in the show were a subtle reference to the track Getaway Car from Swift’s Reputation album.

Kelce’s On-Screen Scene Draws Comparisons to Swift’s Music

In Grotesquerie, Travis Kelce portrays Ed Lachlan, a nurse who forms a connection with Niecy Nash-Betts’s character, Lois Tryon. The storyline unfolds with Ed and Lois flirting in a hospital setting while Lois is coping with her spouse’s coma. After consuming alcohol, Lois ends up in a car accident, only to find herself back at the hospital where Ed works. By the episode’s end, the pair escapes together in a red convertible, driving off hand-in-hand.

This specific scene has sparked widespread conversation among Swift’s fans, who believe the imagery of a red convertible and the act of running away together resembles the storyline of Swift’s 2017 song Getaway Car. In Swift’s song, a tumultuous love affair is symbolized by the act of driving away in a getaway car, echoing themes of escape and rebellion.

Swift’s fans, also known as Swifties, have a reputation for noticing hidden references in her work. When Kelce’s scene in Grotesquerie aired, many of them quickly connected it to Getaway Car, particularly because of the red convertible.

Fans React to the Potential Reference

As soon as the episode aired, social media was buzzing with Swifties sharing their thoughts about the possible reference. One X user wrote, “OF COURSE THEY DRIVE OFF IN A RED CONVERTIBLE GETAWAY CAR THIS WAS FOR US SWIFTIES.” Another fan added, “Why is Travis always driving a red convertible? Getaway Car anyone?”

Other fans shared clips from the episode, expressing excitement about the potential nod to Swift’s music. One post read, “I AM DEADDDDD.#Grotesquerie,” while another commented, “It’s always that damn convertible #Grotesquerie.” The red convertible has become a key visual clue that Swifties believe was intentionally chosen for Kelce’s role in the show, especially since Swift herself has been known to include cryptic messages and symbols in her work.

Swift and Kelce’s Relationship Background Adds Fuel to the Speculation

What makes this speculation even more intriguing is the timeline of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s public relationship. The couple’s relationship became public knowledge in September 2023, when Swift was seen attending one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games. The couple made headlines that night when they were spotted leaving together in a red convertible, a scene that mirrored the themes present in Getaway Car.

Since that time, the pair has been spotted together at various public events, including Coachella in April 2024, where they were reportedly seen enjoying the festival. Kelce also made a notable appearance during Swift’s Eras Tour, where he joined her on stage, a moment that was highly discussed among fans and media.

The parallel between the red convertible from their real-life outings and Kelce’s on-screen scene in Grotesquerie has only added to fans’ belief that this was a deliberate reference to Swift’s song.

Kelce Expands His Career with Grotesquerie

Apart from his highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift, Kelce has been expanding his career beyond the NFL. His appearance in Grotesquerie marks one of his first significant acting roles, and his portrayal of Ed Lachlan has received attention from both fans and critics. The show, which airs on FX every Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT, follows a unique narrative blending mystery and dark drama. Fans can also catch new episodes on Hulu the following day after airing.

Swifties’ eagerness to find connections between their favorite singer’s work and Kelce’s role in Grotesquerie speaks to the ongoing fascination with both Kelce’s career trajectory and his relationship with Swift.
