She knows a little bit about “lights, camera, bitch smile.”

“Grotesquerie” creator Ryan Murphy revealed that Taylor Swift encouraged her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, to pursue a role on the FX show.

“The one thing (Kelce and I) talked about was that she’s very supportive, and if he’s interested, she wants him to try it,” Murphy told E! News at the show’s New York City premiere earlier this week.

“I was very happy with that,” added Murphy, 58.

The influential television executive, known for hits including “Glee,” “American Horror Story” and “Nip/Tuck,” raved that he’s heard nothing but “sweet, sweet things” about the 34-year-old pop star from her boyfriend.

“I love her too,” Murphy admitted.

While Swift was very supportive of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s acting debut, Murphy noted that Kelce is a natural talent and could be a “big movie star” if he wanted to.

“A star is a star is a star — and he’s a star,” Muphy said. “He’s so charismatic, and he’s so smart, he’s sweet.”

The Emmy-winning producer gave insight into Kelce’s acting process, revealing that he learned everyone else’s lines.

“He had great discipline and he’s everything you’d expect him to be,” he said. “He’s a leader, and so sweet and charming, first on set, last off, great team around him.”

Murphy explained that he “worked something out” so Kelce, 34, could appear on the show, as the athlete “had a time frame” and it was “an honor” to work with him.

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

The director isn’t the only one Kelce has worked with. His co-star Niecy Nash-Betts also praised the soccer star’s acting.

“Travis was very open. He was very open about whether a note was given or a suggestion was made,” she recently told People, adding that Kelce was “so accommodating.”

Nash-Betts, 54, also revealed that crew members “fangirled” over Kelce when he was on set.

“All the guests — these big guests on set, the grips, transpo (sic) — everyone was just fangirling. And I was like, ‘Oh my god, you guys!'” she laughed.

Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, was also impressed with her youngest son’s performance, telling Page Six that he’s “very coachable because he plays sports.”

She was also completely in love with his relationship with Swift, sharing with us, “He’s kind. He’s generous. And as far as I know, so is she.”

“Grotesquerie” premiered Wednesday on FX and debuted on Hulu on Thursday.
