"You're the loser" "Borderline stalker": Travis Kelce's ex Kayla Nicole slammed for shading Taylor Swift to remain in headlines by Barstool owner

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole is once again making headlines by using Taylor Swift. The 33-year-old model ignited a social media storm after showing off her Halloween costume as Toni Braxton from the “He Wasn’t Man Enough” music video.

Fans were convinced the look was a not-so-subtle jab at Kelce and his fiancée, “She’s an icon. She’s a legend. She’s @tonibraxton circa 2000,” Nicole wrote on Instagram, posting a video and several professional shots from her Halloween photoshoot.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy criticized Nicole for what he called a desperate attempt to garner attention.

“If you’re talking four years later about your ex-boyfriend, you already lost,” Portnoy said. “The only time she’s in headlines is when she’s interjecting herself in the Travis-Taylor drama or whining about Swifties being mean to her." "when you're talking about your ex-boyfriend who dumped you four years ago and who is married to the most famous woman in the world who's engaged now, I think you're the loser.... She looks great, sure, but she’s entering borderline stalker territory now,” he continued. (00:45)

While some praised Nicole's “savage” outfit, others saw it as an attempt to stay linked to the high-profile couple and get talked about in media circles.

Taylor Swift - Kayla Nicole drama doesn't seem to die down anytime soon. The influencer’s latest social media activity came just 1 month after Swift seemingly threw shade her way on the new album 'The Life of a Showgirl. In the track 'Opalite,' Kelce's fiancée appears to reference Nicole with the line,

“You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”

Fans believe the lyric calls out Nicole’s past relationship with Kelce, hinting she was “in it for clout.” Swift then sent fans into overdrive again after reportedly gifting a care package to Teyana Taylor, one of Nicole’s rumored rivals.
