'Classless': Travis Kelce's Ex-Girlfriend Draws Criticism Following Her Super Bowl Appearance

Travis Kelce's ex-fiancée attended Super Bowl LIX, sharing moments from the game on social media. But with his current girlfriend also there, netizens had plenty to say.

Travis Kelce's ex-fiancée, Kayla Nicole, attended the Super Bowl LIX festivities at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, where the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Philadelphia Eagles. She shared several videos on her Instagram Story, joining thousands of fans in cheering for their favorite teams.

One of her posts featured a lively moment with a friend, surrounded by an excited crowd. Dressed in a black crop top, green-and-white cargo pants, and a leather cap, she captioned the post, "Where's the bandwagon emoji?"

In one clip, she held a handful of teal and white confetti, blew it toward the camera, and captioned it, "They said there's room on the wagon yall."

Another frame showed the confetti mid-air as she stood in the celebratory scene. She paired these posts with Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," a song often linked to rivalries and competition.

She also posed on the confetti-covered field, surrounded by a crowd. In another clip, she spoke with someone wearing an Eagles shirt. A caption read, "My bby @iamkaylanicole at work!"

While many saw it as a lighthearted moment, some social media users reacted differently, especially with Taylor Swift in attendance supporting Kelce.

One user wrote, "She be acting like she's a widow 💀," while another remarked, "Classless, shows she hasn't moved after so long. 🤡" Meanwhile, someone else quipped, "Don't tell Taylor Swift."

Online reactions to Kelce's ex attending the Super Bowl continued to spark debate. Some netizens disapproved, with one writing, "So pathetic and deeply sad," while another person, despite not being a fan of Kelce, felt that Nicole needed to grow up.

Others questioned how she gained access to the event, "She anything other than kelce's ex?? How she get credentialed to be on field [sic]?" Meanwhile, some pushed back, "She's there for work, drop the gimmicks lol."

More netizens came in her defense."People making her out to be bitter because she was at the game 😂😂 do people forget she's a sport [sic] journalist," one user noted.

"Yea If she was on the Chiefs side she would have been trying to interfere and get close to Travis and that she celebrating on the other side she’s bitter EVEN THOUGH she is a sports journalist so she should be there …[sic]," another remarked.

Despite the mixed reactions, Nicole appeared to enjoy the game-day experience alongside fellow fans—just as Swift did. But as the pop star came in support of the Chiefs, her reactions quickly caught fans' attention, drawing speculation.

Swift wore a white tank top and high-waisted light blue denim shorts, keeping her look simple yet stylish. Her loose, wavy hair added to her casual appearance. Ed and Donna Kelce, Ashley Avignone, and Ross Travis joined her on the sidelines, along with sisters Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim.

While the "Bad Blood" singer started out looking relaxed, her expression grew more animated as the Eagles took a big lead over the Chiefs.

The 35-year-old "Shake It Off" hitmaker was photographed leaning forward, her hands on the rails, with a mix of focus and concern on her face. Shortly after, she opened her mouth in visible surprise.

In another photo, Swift's expression appeared pensive and tense, with her eyes focused downward and her hand resting on her head, reflecting a moment of stress or contemplation.

Swift's reactions revealed her investment in the game, which quickly sparked conversations online. One user joked about the future of her relationship with Kelce, "I see a #breakup song coming in hot when the bf cheify baby LOSES!"

A second person suggested it was time for her to find a new boyfriend. Another noted that her friends appeared to have left for a club, while someone else made a brief remark about facing reality.

More netizens shared their thoughts on Swift's reactions during the game. One critic speculated about a possible breakup, while another expressed excitement, suggesting it felt like the "end of an era."

One netizen brushed off the attention on Swift, arguing that the game wasn't about her, while another viewer expressed exhaustion over her constant spotlight.

One spectator simply responded with an eye-roll emoji and others took a more neutral stance, noting that, in the end, everyone faces moments of struggle.

Days before the thrilling Chiefs vs. Eagles showdown and speculation from netizens about the couple's possible breakup, Kelce addressed whether he and Swift were ready to take their relationship to the next level.

As reported on February 5, Kelce was asked if he would propose to Swift at Super Bowl LIX, and his response left fans buzzing with mixed opinions.

Playfully responding to a reporter who directly asked "Are the rumors true? Are you proposing to Taylor at the half?" the footballer answered, "Wouldn't you like to know."

He was later asked twice in a row whether he planned to give Swift a ring. Amused by the repeated questioning, he told reporters, "Man, back to back, you guys are crazy."

Travis Kelce never gave a direct response to inquiries about a proposal, a move that has stirred chatter from fans. One person claimed that Kelce had no interest in marrying Swift, suggesting that he would have proposed already if he did. A user who believed marriage simply wasn't in the cards, stated, "That's a big no."

Another fan speculated that Swift had no plans to marry Kelce and suggested that he was aware of it, which is why he avoided the topic. Others questioned whether a proposal at such a high-profile event would even be desirable. One argued that most women wouldn't want that kind of public moment.

Meanwhile, a fan who hoped an engagement was on the horizon, believed it was the right time to make things official. However, others felt there was no need to rush, emphasizing that the couple seemed happy as they were.

Some people felt the timing of the proposal should be private and hoped it wouldn't happen during the Super Bowl. A few sided with Kelce for avoiding the topic, as a fan remarked, "Dude that is private information I don't blame him for dodging the questions."

Kelce was more forthcoming about other questions concerning his relationship with Swift. When asked about the upcoming game, he acknowledged the challenge of being apart from his girlfriend during the playoff season.

He admitted that, although he wasn't there to support her during that time, he believed the time apart played a role in their success. The 35-year-old athlete also reflected on how both of them value the tangible aspects of their relationship and expressed that the connection they share is undeniable.

Kelce also discussed his desire to keep up with Taylor Swift's work ethic. He joked, "I better hold up my end of the bargain, right?" adding, "I mean, if she's out here being the superstar she is, never taking no for an answer, and always working her tail off, I better match that energy for sure."

On a lighter note, when asked what meal of Swift's would fill him up for the big game, Kelce shared his favorite dish that she prepares. He said, "She is quite the cook. I would say, man, I'm a breakfast guy, man. Her pop-tarts are unbelievable, man. Her homemade pop-tarts are unbelievable."

Kelce and Swift have consistently shown up for each other, sparking ongoing conversations online. Super Bowl LIX was no different, as Swift appeared fully immersed in the Chiefs' game, all while cheering on her athlete boyfriend.
