Even two years after the separation, the presenter Kayla Nicole is still being attacked by Taylor Swift fans.
Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, spoke publicly yesterday (October 10, 2024) about the hate towards her from Taylor Swift fans. “I would be lying if I said this level of hate and online chaos hasn’t affected me – it has. Even to this day,” admitted the influencer and sports presenter. She and NFL star Kelce finally separated in 2022 after an on-off relationship. Almost a year later, the first smooching pictures of the quarterback with Taylor Swift circulated on the Internet.
“This level of fame attracts crazy people.”
On Thursday, Kayla Nicole was a guest on the show “Unapologetically Angel” and talked about her career – and of course about the situation after the separation from ex-boyfriend Travis Kelce, with whom she was in a relationship for five years. “People debate that I’m worthless. “That I will never be a talented person and that I don’t have a career of my own,” she reported about the hostility in the comment columns. When asked why the Swifties seemed to hate her so much, the YouTuber responded with incomprehension: “I don’t know,” said Nicole. “I think that level of fame attracts crazy people. And that’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of reaction.”
All that’s left for him is a “head nod”.
After graduating from Pepperdine University, Kayla Nicole made a name for herself as a sports reporter, covering NBA and NFL games from the sidelines. She made her first contact with football player Travis Kelce on New Year’s Eve 2016 and quickly wrote him a DM, as she revealed in an interview with “TMZ”. The two separated for the first time in 2020. At that time, there were rumors circulating online about Kelce having an affair, which he dismissed as “fake news”. After the couple got back together a few months later, the relationship finally ended in May 2022.

The two would still run into each other because of their jobs, said Kayla Nicole. “I think we’re both aware that in his new situation there’s just no room to communicate with each other or acknowledge each other publicly without something crazy being made of it.” How does she react when she meets him somewhere? “I nod to him,” Nicole said. “That’s it.”
