"I chose to let him go/ So why do you act like I still care about him?" the R&B icon sings on the 2000 track.

Kayla Nicole’s costume for this year’s Halloween is bound to turn some heads. On Friday (Oct. 31), the podcaster unveiled her spooky-season tribute to Toni Braxton — specifically the R&B icon’s 2000 music video for “He Was’t Man Enough.”
In a clip posted to Instagram, Nicole — who dated Travis Kelce on and off from 2017 to 2022 — rocks a purple bikini topped by a revealing dress made of sparkly silver netting. Splicing in footage from Braxton’s visual, the presenter re-creates the sensual choreography performed by the “Un-Break My Heart” singer in the project.
“She’s an icon. She’s a legend,” Nicole wrote in the caption. “She’s @tonibraxton circa 2000. #Halloween25.”
The video is sure to get people talking: The song of choice — which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — finds Braxton teasing an ex-boyfriend’s new partner, singing, “Who do you think I am?/ Don’t you know that he was my man?/ But I chose to let him go/ So why do you act like I still care about him?”
The lyrics Nicole sings along to in the video she posted are especially eyebrow-raising, considering the fact that Kelce will soon be married to Taylor Swift after getting engaged to the pop star this past August. “Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?/ I’m not thinking ’bout him/ But you married him,” the fitness entrepreneur mouths along to Braxton’s voice.
“Do you know I made him leave?/ Do you know he begged to stay with me?/ He wasn’t man enough for me.”
Nicole is no stranger to making big statements with her Halloween costumes. Last year, she revealed that she once dressed up as the woman an ex had “dumped” her for on the holiday, after which the fans connected the dots back to Teyana Taylor, who married Iman Shumpert after the NBA star dated Nicole. Shortly afterward, Taylor appeared to react to the revelation by making a post on Instagram set to Swift’s hit “Shake It Off,” writing, “I know 2025 gone hate to see a Taylor coming!!”
Nicole also enjoys honoring her favorite musicians in general on Halloween, dressing up as Ciara in 2024.
