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. โThe fallout followedโ recent scrutinyโข sparked by a Halloween post perceived as a pointed message directed at her ex-boyfriend, Kansas City โChiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and โฃhis fiancรฉ, Taylor Swift.
Nicoleโ dated Kelce on-and-off for five years, ending in 2022, before he began hisโฃ relationship withโ Swift. For Halloween, Nicole recreated Toni Braxton’s music video โฃfor “Wasn’t Man Enough,” a move โwidely interpreted as a commentary on โฃher past relationship. This isn’t the first time Nicole has used a Halloween costume to address a formerโ partner;โ she previously dressed as Teyana Taylor following a โฃbreakup with Iman Shumpert, an incident sheโ discussed onโ Angel Reese’s podcast, โprompting a response from taylor.
The recent Halloween post ignited a backlashโ from Swift’s fans, who began examining Nicole’s past social โฃmedia activity. This search uncovered multiple tweets containing racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist language dating back to 2010. Nicole โdeleted her account, but screenshots โof the posts continue to circulate.
The controversy also stemmed from speculationโฃ that Swift alluded to โฃNicole in her new album, The Life Of A Showgirl. In the song “Opalite,” Swift sings, “You couldn’t understandโ it / Why you felt alone / You were in it forโค real / She was in her phone / and you wereโ just aโ pose.” โขFans interpreted โthe lyrics as a reference to Nicole’s frequent posting about Kelce during their relationship.
