Kayla Nicole is currently under the gun of social media.
A social media influencer with over 800,000 followers on Instagram, Nicole is best known for dating Travis Kelsey before dating Taylor Swift.
The former lovers were also quite serious.
In October, during an appearance on WNBA All-Star Angel Reese’s podcast Unappologetically Angel, Nicole said she thought she and Kelsey would get married someday.
Of course these days, people are wondering when Kelce and Swift will get married.
However, Nicole is back in the news as a cast member on Season 3 of Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Test.
The 32-year-old will be featured alongside other stars such as Denise Richards and Brody Jenner in a preview of the Fox reality show.
At one point, the influencer appears to wipe away tears as she says in a voiceover, “I was devastated to go through a public breakup.”
Fellow contestant Alana Blanchard then asked Nicole who she was referring to, and Kayla whispered, “Travis Kelce.”
We believe Nicole was recruited into the program specifically because of her history with Kelce. We’re willing to bet a fair amount of money that the producers asked her to discuss tight ends on the air.
But still, many observers do not quite understand Nicole’s situation.
Simply put, Swifties specifically want Nicole to STFU about Kelce.
“Was being with Travis Kelsey the only overwhelming thing she went through? No,” one critic wrote, for example. “What about her shady character? Personality? Attitude? Action? Failed business? Like Girl, MOVE ON. It’s 2024.”
Could it be that the only overwhelming thing she experienced was being Travis Kelsey’s ex-boyfriend?
no.
What about her dark personality? personality? attitude? Action? A failed business?

Nicole previously revealed that she and Kelce connected through Instagram.
“He’s been following me and flirting with me on Instagram for a few months,” she explained in a now-deleted Instagram Story post captured by TMZ.
As quoted above, the model opened up to Reese just last month about her past with Kelce.
“I’d be lying if I said that level of hate and online chaos doesn’t affect me,” Kayla admitted on an episode of the “Unaporegively Angel” podcast. “If you look at my latest posts, people are discussing why I’m worthless and why I can’t be a talented person.”
Reese asked Nicole at the time why she thought she was so disrespected, even though their on-and-off five-year relationship ended.
Nicole replied, “I don’t know.”
“I think there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people. But I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash, so that’s a shame.”
