Kayla Nicole and Taylor Swift made waves on Halloween, but it wasn’t just about their costume but over Travis Kelce
Model Kayla Nicole captivated the internet when she unveiled her 2025 Halloween look, which paid homage to Toni Braxton from the unforgettable “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.
In her Instagram post, the 33-year-old showcased a cinematic tribute to Braxton’s iconic 2000 hit, sporting the legendary singer’s distinctive short haircut, a stylish brown leather ensemble, and a confident attitude. She channeled the essence of Braxton’s powerful lyrics: “Listen, girl, who do you think I am? Don’t you know that he was my man?” This resonated with many viewers, sparking speculation among fans.
Social media users took to investigating the possible implications of her choice. Some interpreted it as a “savage” yet subtle jab at her ex, Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star, and his current fiancée, Taylor Swift.
The timing of her post added another layer to the conversation. Just a few weeks before Kayla shared her Braxton-inspired video, Taylor Swift released her much-anticipated album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, which features a song titled “Opalite.” The lyrics quickly drew attention: “You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.” Swifties immediately connected these lines to Kayla, recalling a past moment when Kelce had asked her to put her phone away during a dinner date.
The combination of the timing, lyrics, and Kayla’s daring costume sparked a frenzy across both fan communities. One Twitter user quipped, “Are the girls fighting?” while another humorously noted, “Toni Braxton didn’t deserve to be dragged into this love triangle, but here we are.”
Kayla and Travis had an on-and-off relationship for five years before ending things in 2022. Since then, Kelce has moved on with Taylor Swift, and their romantic journey has been widely covered in both sports and pop culture. Reports of their engagement in August 2025 only intensified the public’s interest, leading fans to closely analyze every new development.
Despite the buzz surrounding her Halloween post, neither Kayla, Travis, nor Taylor Swift has made any public comments. Nevertheless, something is definitely brewing.
