UPDATE: Fans are buzzing over Kayla Nicole’s Halloween costume, which many believe contains a pointed message aimed at her ex, NFL star Travis Kelce, and his current fiancée, pop icon Taylor Swift. Just hours ago, on October 31, 2025, Nicole, 33, took to Instagram to showcase her outfit, dressing as Toni Braxton in a recreation of the singer’s look from the iconic “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.
The timing and choice of costume have sent social media into a frenzy, with followers interpreting it as a direct jab at Kelce, 36, and Swift, 35. One fan commented, “The shade is real 😂,” while another added, “This is how you have the last laugh.. ☺️👏🏽.” The song, a Grammy-winning hit from 2000, features lyrics that many believe resonate with Nicole’s past relationship with Kelce.
In part of the song, Braxton sings, “Listen, girl / Who do you think I am? / Don’t you know that he was my man? / But I chose to let him go.” This message has sparked discussions among fans, with some suggesting that it reflects Nicole’s feelings about her former partner’s new romance.
Adding to the drama, Swifties have speculated that Swift’s recent song “Opalite” contains lines aimed at Nicole. The lyrics include, “You couldn’t understand it / Why you felt alone,” which some interpret as a response to Nicole’s social media activity. The track was released on October 3, 2025, just days before Nicole’s Halloween reveal, heightening tensions between the former couple and the pop star.
Earlier this month, Nicole also stirred speculation with a cryptic Instagram story featuring a throwback clip of Eva Marcille from America’s Next Top Model, where she confidently asserts, “I don’t compare myself to other girls.” Fans have interpreted this as another subtle nod to the ongoing rivalry, particularly given the context of Swift’s lyrics.
As the situation unfolds, fans are left wondering what this implies for the relationships involved. Will this Halloween costume lead to further interactions or responses from Swift and Kelce? The online discourse continues to develop, and both sides are likely to feel the impact of this latest social media exchange.
Stay tuned for updates as this intriguing saga unfolds, capturing the attention of fans worldwide.
