UPDATE: In a surprising twist, Kayla Nicole has sparked speculation about her ex, Travis Kelce, and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with her recent Halloween costume. The influencer, 33, shared a post on Instagram just hours ago, showcasing her bold choice to dress as Toni Braxton from the iconic “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.
Fans are buzzing, convinced that the costume is a subtle jab at Kelce, 36, and Swift, 35. The timing is critical, as Swift’s new song “Opalite” released earlier this month has already ignited discussions of potential drama between the trio.
Nicole’s post, made on October 31, 2025, features her recreating Braxton’s look with a striking resemblance to the singer in the music video. The lyrics of the song resonate deeply, with lines that many fans believe reflect the tension between Nicole and her former partner. One user commented, “The shade is real 😂,” while another noted, “This is how you have the last laugh.. ☺️👏🏽.”
The lyrics from “He Wasn’t Man Enough,” released in 2000, include pointed remarks about past relationships, such as, “Listen, girl / Who do you think I am? / Don’t you know that he was my man? / But I chose to let him go.” These powerful words are fueling speculation that Nicole is taking a stand against the new couple.
“What you thinkin’? / Stop blamin’ me / He wasn’t man enough for me / If you don’t know, now here’s the chance / I’ve already had your man.”
Adding to the drama, fans have theorized that Swift’s “Opalite” contains references aimed at Nicole. The track features lyrics that hint at feelings of neglect and betrayal, with one line stating, “You finally left the table / And what a simple thought / You’re starving ’til you’re not.” This has raised eyebrows among Swifties who are eager to decode the hidden meanings.
Notably, a resurfaced clip of Kelce and Nicole from their past relationship also sparked conversations. In the video, Kelce urges Nicole to get off her phone during dinner, saying, “Oh, my God. Get off your phone. … You’re not even drinking your wine anymore, can we go?” This has led many to believe that Nicole’s recent posts are more than just casual commentary.
In a further twist, Nicole’s recent Instagram Stories featured a throwback clip of Eva Marcille from “America’s Next Top Model,” which some fans interpreted as a direct response to Swift’s song. The clip captures Marcille asserting her individuality with the words, “I don’t compare myself to other girls. I’m Eva. I’m no comparison to anyone else.” These cryptic messages are keeping fans on high alert for potential drama.
The developments come on the heels of Swift’s latest album release, which dropped on October 3, just days before Nicole’s Halloween post. With both sides seemingly throwing shade, fans are left wondering what the next move will be in this unfolding story.
As the speculation intensifies, what will be the next chapter for Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift? Stay tuned for more updates as this intriguing saga develops.
