“Before dating Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce had a five-year relationship with this woman.”

Taylor Swift is believed to have taken aim at Kayla Nicole — Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend — in her new song Opalite. In the track, she describes the man’s feelings: “You can’t understand why you’re feeling so alone / You’re really right there, she’s always on her phone / And you’re just a clown.”
The lyrics appear to echo Kayla Nicole’s well-known “phone addiction.” Back when they were dating, Travis Kelce even posted a video reminding Kayla to put her phone down when she was with him.

Following the stir, Kayla Nicole seemingly fired back. On her Instagram Story, she posted an old clip from America’s Next Top Model, where judge Tyra Banks asks contestant Eva Marcille: “How do you compare yourself to the other girls?” Eva replies: “I don’t compare myself to other girls. I’m Eva. I don’t compare myself to anyone else.”

Not stopping there, Kelce’s ex also shared a message saying: “When God gives you a ball, spike it.”
It’s clear that Kayla Nicole is confidently responding to the buzz surrounding her after her former boyfriend got engaged to one of the world’s biggest pop stars.

Travis Kelce dated sports broadcaster and model Kayla Nicole from 2017 until May 2022. Their relationship began when Kelce flirted with her on Instagram—following her, watching her stories, and liking all her posts. “I just kept doing it,” he said. “Then finally, right around New Year’s, she gave in. You know, new year, new her. She acted on it, sent me a DM, and the rest was history.”

The two even made red-carpet appearances together, but they broke up for the first time in August 2020. Rumors surfaced claiming Kelce had cheated on Kayla, though he denied it. After a few months, they reconciled, but eventually split for good in May 2022. Both remained silent about the reason, though Barstool Sports speculated that it was because Kelce insisted on splitting bills with Kayla. However, both parties publicly dismissed that claim.

Last year, Kayla Nicole was asked again about her past relationship with Kelce. She said she was tired of dating athletes and now preferred dating a record-label executive or a film producer. She also subtly clapped back at persistent haters: “Life gave me lemons, so I made a lemon martini—and it bothered them.”

As for Travis Kelce, after breaking up with Kayla Nicole, he began dating Taylor Swift in 2023. In the early hours of August 27 (Vietnam time), social media across the globe exploded when Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce announced their engagement. On her personal page, the pop superstar shared a series of romantic moments of Kelce proposing to her in a field of flowers, along with a massive diamond ring. She added a humorous caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Travis Kelce proposed with a custom-made ring from Artifex Fine Jewelry. The ring features gold and a north–south set diamond, cut in the Old Mine Brilliant style—an 18th–19th century hand-cut technique that perfectly matches Swift’s sweet, vintage aesthetic. Many experts estimate the ring to be worth up to $1 million USD.

According to Ed Kelce—Travis Kelce’s father—his son actually proposed two weeks earlier but kept everything secret from the media. The announcement made in the early hours of July 28 (Vietnam time) was simply the date Taylor Swift chose to share the happy news with fans.

Since late 2023, Page Six had reported that Travis Kelce visited Taylor Swift’s father to ask for his permission to propose. Sources said Scott Swift agreed and fully supported Kelce. The NFL star had also discussed the engagement ring with his friends. All this suggests that Travis Kelce had been serious about a long-term future with Taylor and had been preparing for the big moment just months into their relationship.
