Travis Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole is feeling ‘fantastic’ as Taylor Swift romance heats up

Travis Kelce’s ex is feeling “fantastic” despite the NFL star getting hot and heavy with Taylor Swift.

“I’m having a fantastic day. Thank you so much for asking,” Kayla Nicole told her 740,000 Instagram followers on her Story on Sunday.

“This video is not about me or my makeup or how clear my skin looks,” she continued.

“This video is about you and your day. Cheeky bitch.”

Nicole’s video came in the midst of a whirlwind weekend for the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the “Lover” singer, who spent the past few days out on the town in New York City.

The pair held hands following an intimate dinner at sushi hotspot Nobu on Saturday night before they each made surprise appearances on “Saturday Night Live.”

Swift, 33, popped up on the NBC show to introduce musical guest Ice Spice, while Kelce, 34, made a cameo during one of the sketches poking fun at his new romance.

The couple then made their way to the afterparty at Catch Steak, where an eyewitness told Page Six exclusively that they were making out throughout the evening.

“Travis and Taylor seemed to really be enjoying the night, and each other, even kissing throughout the night,” an insider shared, noting that the duo walked into the restaurant hand in hand around 2:20 a.m.

A separate source told us the Super Bowl champ and the Grammy winner looked “in love” during the festivities.

“She seemed really excited around him and giddy and happy like a schoolgirl,” an attendee told us.

The budding couple were “talking and kissing” all night long at the afterparty, spies told Page Six.

“They were holding each other and talking and kissing in the main spot where the waiters and people had to walk by. They didn’t care or move.”

Kelce and Swift had been sparking romance rumors for a couple of months before she showed up to support him at the Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game last month.

She’s subsequently attended a few more games, and Nicole went on to suggest on social media that she has been getting some “backlash and embarrassment” from Swifties.

“They may call you a traitor for falling in love,” Nicole, who dated Kelce on and off from 2017 to 2022, began. “You’ll hope the ones closest will protect you but quickly realize people don’t protect what they don’t value.

“They’ll say you’re too much … and in the same breath, tell you you’re not enough,” she continued. “Not successful enough, not wholesome enough, maybe not even intelligent enough. … They’ll even try to tie your value to your net worth.”

Nicole encouraged her followers not to “participate in this tumultuous, often one-sided journey” or “engage.”
