When sports stars and music icons fall in love, the world pays attention—and that’s exactly what’s happening with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Their surprise engagement has captured headlines everywhere, but it’s also stirred up some old emotions, especially for Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole.
Kayla Nicole Sends a Message
Kayla Nicole, a well-known sports journalist and influencer, seemed to address the engagement news in her own way.
Taking to Instagram Stories, she shared a video of herself pushing through an intense gym session in a bold bodysuit.
The track “Made for This S–t” by Gunna played in the background, while her message over the clip read:
“The goal? A back that says stop f–king playing with me.”
The timing of the post, coming right after the engagement news broke, didn’t go unnoticed by fans.
Kelce’s Romantic Proposal to Swift
The engagement itself was nothing short of a fairy tale.
According to reports, Kelce popped the question in his rose-filled backyard, presenting Swift with a massive diamond ring estimated at around R15 million.
The couple later released intimate photos from the special moment, sending both Swifties and NFL fans into a frenzy.
A History Between Kayla and Kelce
Kayla Nicole, now 33, dated Kelce on and off between 2017 and 2022.
After their final split, the Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, connected with Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City in 2023—and the rest, as they say, is history.
In the days after the proposal, Kayla also posted a clip of actress Tracee Ellis Ross discussing the difference between happiness and joy, writing: “I aspire.
So so good.” She even referenced the book Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn’t Enough, suggesting she’s focusing on her own growth.
Choosing Joy Over Bitterness
This isn’t the first time Kayla has taken the high road.
Earlier in the year, she spoke openly on her podcast Pre-Game about Kelce’s new relationship, admitting:
“I think as women, something we struggle with is admitting that the new girl might be popping.
There’s no problem in admitting that… If you’re gonna lose, I want to lose to the best team now. Make me look good.”
Her words, mixed with her recent posts, show a woman determined to move forward with strength and grace—even if the past still lingers.
A Love Story That Captivates Fans
Meanwhile, Kelce and Swift’s romance continues to be the crossover story no one can ignore—uniting football fans and music lovers alike.
Their engagement marks the start of a new chapter, while also proving how personal milestones can ripple through past relationships.
