- Taylor Swift’s fans are convinced a song on her new album is a diss track aimed at Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole.
- The lyrics on the song “Opalite” appear to accuse Nicole of dating the NFL star for clout and being emotionally distant.

Did Taylor Swift Just Call Out Travis Kelce’s Ex?
The internet is buzzing as Taylor Swift’s loyal fanbase, the “Swifties,” are certain the pop superstar took a lyrical shot at Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. The alleged diss appears on “Opalite,” a track from Swift’s highly-anticipated new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and the drama is escalating quickly.
The Lyrics Sparking the Feud
Fans immediately pointed to a specific set of lines as undeniable proof of the jab. Swift sings, “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.”
Fan Theories and “Evidence”
The theory gained massive traction when a video resurfaced showing Kelce at a dinner with Nicole, asking her to put her phone down. For many fans, this was confirmation that Swift’s lyrics were a direct commentary on Kelce and Nicole’s past relationship, suggesting the sports journalist was only with him for the attention.
Kayla Nicole’s Subtle Response
While Swift hasn’t confirmed the rumors, Kayla Nicole may have. Shortly after the song dropped, she took to her Instagram Story to share a clip from America’s Next Top Model, in which contestant Eva Marcille tells Tyra Banks, “I don’t compare myself to other girls. I’m Eva.” This seemingly poised and indirect clapback has only added fuel to the fire, with many seeing it as a direct acknowledgment of the alleged diss.
A Look at the Past
Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce were in an on-and-off relationship for five years before officially splitting in 2022. While rumors circulated about their breakup, this new chapter in the drama has captivated fans of both Swift and the NFL.
