Kayla Nicole Deactivates Twitter Account Following Resurfaced Problematic Tweets
Kayla Nicole deactivated her Twitter/X account on Thursday night after a wave of old, offensive posts resurfaced online. The fallout followed recent scrutiny sparked by a Halloween post perceived as a pointed message directed at her ex-boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and his fiancé, Taylor Swift.
Nicole dated Kelce on-and-off for five years, ending in 2022, before he began his relationship with Swift. For Halloween, Nicole recreated Toni Braxton’s music video for “Wasn’t Man Enough,” a move widely interpreted as a commentary on her past relationship. This isn’t the first time Nicole has used a Halloween costume to address a former partner; she previously dressed as Teyana Taylor following a breakup with Iman Shumpert, an incident she discussed on Angel Reese’s podcast, prompting a response from taylor.
The recent Halloween post ignited a backlash from Swift’s fans, who began examining Nicole’s past social media activity. This search uncovered multiple tweets containing racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist language dating back to 2010. Nicole deleted her account, but screenshots of the posts continue to circulate.
The controversy also stemmed from speculation that Swift alluded to Nicole in her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl. In the song “Opalite,” Swift sings, “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.” Fans interpreted the lyrics as a reference to Nicole’s frequent posting about Kelce during their relationship.
