BREAKING: Kayla Nicole, ex-girlfriend of NFL star Travis Kelce, appears to have thrown shade at him and his fiancée Taylor Swift with a provocative Halloween costume. The influencer’s choice has ignited speculation among fans, who see it as a pointed comment on the couple’s relationship.
Earlier today, October 31, 2025, Nicole, 33, posted on Instagram, revealing her Halloween outfit where she dressed as Toni Braxton, specifically mimicking the look from the iconic music video for the hit song “He Wasn’t Man Enough.” This choice of costume has sparked intense discussions online, with followers interpreting it as a subtle dig at Kelce, 36, and Swift.
Fans quickly reacted, with one commenting, “The shade is real 😂” and another stating, “This is how you have the last laugh.. ☺️👏🏽👏🏽.” The lyrics of Braxton’s song—“He wasn’t man enough for me”—have resonated with many, leading them to believe that Nicole’s costume is a clear message to her ex.
This latest development follows speculation that Swift’s new song “Opalite,” released on October 3, may also be addressing Nicole. In the track, Swift sings lyrics that some fans interpret as veiled references to her predecessor, suggesting tension between the two women.
Nicole’s Halloween post comes just one day after Swift’s album drop, intensifying the public’s interest in the dynamics involved. On her Instagram Stories, Nicole shared a throwback clip of Eva Marcille from America’s Next Top Model, where Marcille asserts, “I’m no comparison to anyone else.” Many fans have speculated this was another jab at Swift, adding fuel to the fire.
As the drama unfolds, fans and observers are left wondering what this means for the relationships involved. The interactions between Kelce and Nicole during their past relationship have also resurfaced, including a moment where Kelce urged Nicole to “get off your phone,” hinting at earlier tensions.
The situation is developing rapidly, and fans are eagerly awaiting any further responses from Kelce, Swift, or Nicole regarding these provocative exchanges. For now, the spotlight remains firmly on the trio, with social media buzzing about the potential implications of Nicole’s Halloween attire.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
