UPDATE: In a surprising twist, former NFL star Travis Kelce‘s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has ignited speculation of a jab at Kelce and his new fiancée, Taylor Swift, with her recent Halloween costume. Just hours ago, Nicole, 33, posted on Instagram, showcasing her outfit inspired by Toni Braxton from the iconic music video “He Wasn’t Man Enough.”
The timing of Nicole’s costume on October 31, 2025, has fans buzzing, interpreting her choice as a subtle message directed at Kelce, 36, amid the high-profile relationship with Swift. The lyrics of Braxton’s classic hit include lines that many fans believe reflect Nicole’s feelings toward her past relationship with Kelce. One follower remarked, “The shade is real 😂,” while another noted, “This is how you have the last laugh.. ☺️👏🏽.”
This development comes just after speculation arose regarding Swift’s own song “Opalite,” which some fans believe contains veiled references to Nicole. The lyrics, “You couldn’t understand it / Why you felt alone,” have been interpreted as a commentary on the dynamics between the two women, especially following Swift’s album release on October 3, 2025.
Adding fuel to the fire, Nicole had previously shared a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories, featuring a throwback clip of Eva Marcille from “America’s Next Top Model.” The clip included a statement about not comparing oneself to others, which stirred further speculation about her intentions.
In the wake of Nicole’s post, fans are eagerly discussing the potential back-and-forth between the two women. The social media landscape is alive with opinions, with many convinced that Nicole’s bold Halloween choice is a calculated response to Swift’s recent musical expressions.
As comments flood social media, this ongoing saga between Kelce, Swift, and Nicole continues to captivate audiences. Fans are left wondering what the future holds for this trio as tensions seem to simmer beneath the surface.
