Kayla Nicole's Super Bowl ad calls out Swifties—sort of

Kayla Nicole made her Super Bowl appearance count — and viewers were quick to catch the wordplay.

During the big game, according to Complex, Nicole popped up in a commercial for fantasy football app Sleeper, a star-packed spot built around a fictional law firm run by Tiffany Haddish and NBA player Ben Simmons. The ad centers on exes, breakups, and legal-style “representation” for messy splits, with cameos from Offset and Love Island alum Ace Greene, both nodding to their own public relationship endings.

Nicole’s moment comes when she explains that the Simmons & Haddish team promised to “quickly” end the “ex-girlfriend fiasco” she’s been dealing with — a line that immediately grabbed attention given her past relationship with Travis Kelce. Nicole and Kelce dated on and off from 2017 to 2022, before Kelce began dating Taylor Swift the following year. The two announced their engagement last August.

As Simmons jumps in to clarify the plan, Nicole cycles through alternatives like “rapidly” and “pronto,” visibly avoiding one specific word. When Simmons finally says “swiftly,” the pause lands.

“Why is that so hard to remember?” Simmons asks.

Haddish follows with a punchline of her own: “Ah, that’s on me. I came at him wrong. I thought he was Black. My bad.” Simmons then adds another layer, joking about haircut standards with a line referencing taper fades — a subtle callback some viewers connected to Kelce’s past style.

The ad never directly mentions Swift, but the reaction online filled in the blanks. Within minutes of airing, social media lit up with viewers interpreting Nicole’s hesitation around the word “swiftly” as a wink toward Swift’s fanbase, which has closely followed every post-breakup move tied to the Kelce storyline.

The commercial lands just weeks after Nicole re-entered the pop culture conversation through music-related moments. In October, she recreated Toni Braxton’s “He Wasn’t Man Enough for Me” music video for Halloween, a post that sparked heavy debate over whether it referenced Kelce and Swift. Nicole later said the costume was inspired by a childhood memory involving a friend named Taylor, not Swift.
