Travis Kelce’s Ex-Girlfriend Sounds Off on Taylor Swift Fans Harassing Her

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, recently joined the “Unapologetically Angel” podcast with WNBA star Angel Reese. While Nicole was on the show, the two spoke about her previous relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar. She shared some insight on what she’s had to deal with as the ex-girlfriend of an athlete who is now dating American music icon Taylor Swift. Kelce and Swift reportedly started dating in 2023, and since then, Nicole explained that she’s received hateful comments from fans. She admitted that the backlash from being the former girlfriend behind Swift has impacted her. “I would be lying if I said that level of hate and just like online chaos doesn’t impact me, it does,” Nicole said. “Even to this day… You can go to my most recent post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I have no career.”

Reese asked Nicole why she believed fans had attacked her, and Nicole attributed her reasoning to Swift’s level of fame.

It has nothing to do with me,” Nicole added. “I think there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people and it’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that type of backlash.”

Below are some of the comments that have been directed toward Nicole. These come straight from her main Instagram account, where she said she receives backlash. “Stop trying to get is his attention,” said one fan.

“Show up Kayla. Travis hate you!!!” sai another fan. “Kayla still bringing up Kelce…” mentioned one fan. “And what does Kayla Nicole actually DO? Just talk about her ex for a living,” commented one fan.

Taylor Swift > Kayla Nicole,” said one fan. “Why is she always talking about Travis,” said another fan.

Nicole and Kelce reportedly had an on-and-off relationship for five years, beginning their partnership in 2017. Much of the public saw their official reveal together when the two chose to go to the 2018 ESPYS with locked arms. While Nicole explained during the podcast that she and Kelce had a great relationship while they were seeing each other, she emphasized that once Swift got into the mix, she’s been dealing with immense scrutiny that she finds excessive.
