Much like Taylor Swift was coming out of a six-year committed relationship with Joe Alwyn, Travis Kelce had also ended a long relationship shortly before they got together. He dated reporter and model Kayla Nicole for five years, and despite their breakup, it doesn’t seem there’s any animosity between them or between her and Taylor Swift.
The same cannot be said about the swifties. Taylor Swift’s fans have been hostile towards Kayla for a while now, interpreting anything she does or says as an attack on their favorite singer, and it seems the model finally had enough and decided to respond to swifties who were leaving mean comments on her social media.
Sometimes fans can get a little too intense about their love for an artist, and swifties are no exception. Apparently, Kayla Nicole, Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, was on the receiving end of attacks from Taylor Swift fans, who felt she had slammed Taylor’s music.
While she’s generally not that outspoken about her problems, it seems the online bashing got a little too much for the model, which is understandable, and she clapped back at swifties.
“I’m unproblematic. Mind my business. Never respond to the constant vitriol. Solid as they come & don’t expect a pat on the back for it either,” she defended herself. “Just know everyone has a breaking point & would love for ‘yall’ (because you know exactly who you are) to leave me alone.”
She received, mostly, a lot of support from the comments on her post, and there were even some swifties who sent their love and asked other fans to stop hating on Kayla Nicole.
“As a lifelong swiftie and a big fan of yours, I feel like I need to apologize on their behalf for how disgusting they are to you. you don’t deserve it at all and please know there are some of us who also love and respect you and wish they would just leave you alone,” one user wrote, and was praised by other swifties.
There was always a certain hostility towards Kayla Nicole for simply being Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, but it noticeably ramped up after a particular tweet that swifties interpreted as her trashing Taylor’s music.
“There’s just no way I can fully digest all these new albums. I’m still on Cowboy Carter,” she wrote the day before Taylor Swift released her new album, and a lot of people thought she was calling The Tortured Poets Department irrelevant.
A lot of commenters told her that no one cared what she thought, saying that Taylor Swift didn’t need her streams, despite the model never even mentioning the pop star. Others accused her of playing the victim, and provoking swifties just to claim they bully her, but it honestly seems like a stretch, since Kayla was simply praising Beyonce’s new album.
Travis and Kayla dated for five years, so of course she was an important person in his life, but it seems they parted on good terms, and Kayla still gets along with the Kelce family.
