Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, is speaking out about the “constant vitriol” she has received online. “I’m unproblematic,” the on-air host wrote Thursday on X (formerly Twitter). “Mind my business. Never respond to the constant vitriol. Solid as they come & don’t expect a pat on the back for it either. Just know everyone has a breaking point & would love for ‘yall’ (because you know exactly who you are) to leave me alone.”
Nicole’s message comes as Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, hit shelves Friday. It’s been speculated that some of the album’s lyrics reference Kelce, whom Swift is currently dating.
Nicole and Kelce, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs who took home his second consecutive Super Bowl championship ring this year, dated on and off from 2017 to 2022. Since Kelce and Swift’s relationship went public in the fall of 2023, Nicole has been tugged into the conversation several times for comments that do not directly address Swift.
In another tweet posted Thursday, Nicole wrote, “There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on Cowboy Carter. overstimulated.com.” It seemed to draw the ire of some Swifties, who interpreted the comment as a slam on Swift’s forthcoming The Tortured Poets Department. “Taylor doesn’t need your streams,” one wrote
After Nicole asked to be left alone in the subsequent tweet, one response advised her to “log off.” Nicole declined, firing off another barb.
“I made 6 real life figures from being ‘logged on’ last year,” she wrote. “And very thankful for it. A better suggestion – people that use this platform to spew hate – log out and focus on getting their mattress off the floor.”
On Friday, she appeared to be ready to move on from the discussion, tweeting, “Today is a great day to have a great daaaaay!”
In October 2023, shortly after Swift and Kelce’s relationship became public, Nicole shared an open letter amid what she referred to as “backlash,” again not calling out any specific names or events, encouraging followers to “preserve your heart.”
“Even though sometimes I, too, ask, ‘Why me?’ I’m reminded that this isn’t just about me,” she said. “My truth, trauma, and vulnerability is a relatable part of the human experience. I know I’m not alone, and I want to make sure that you know that you’re not either.”
A request for comment from Kayla Nicole has not been returned.
