Kayla Nicole, sports commentator extraordinaire and former flame of NFL star Travis Kelce, is out here living her best life—and dishing on the drama. After five years together, Kayla and Travis called it quits in 2022, leaving the internet in a frenzy when he later linked up with none other than Taylor Swift. Yep, that Taylor Swift. Cue the memes, conspiracy theories, and Swiftie-level chaos.
While competing on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test (because, apparently, normal life isn’t challenging enough), Kayla decided to open up about the emotional rollercoaster of splitting from a guy whose name is practically a headline generator. Spoiler alert: It hasn’t been all sunshine and touchdowns.
Public Breakups Are Basically the Hunger Games
“Going through a public breakup is, like, next-level stressful,” Kayla confessed on the show, via People. “I’ve never experienced anything like it.” Translation: It’s like trying to dodge linebackers while juggling flaming bowling pins—completely impossible and totally exhausting.
Why did she sign up for a show where people voluntarily get yelled at and pushed to their limits? To prove to herself (and maybe the world) that she’s got this. “I wanted to remind myself that I’m enough,” she said, likely while crawling through mud or scaling a wall. Honestly, girl, you could’ve just taken a spa day.
Trolls, Trolls Everywhere
Kayla’s relationship with Travis made her a prime target for online trolls, who apparently have way too much time on their hands. Despite being a self-proclaimed “very confident person,” she admitted that the relentless hate can wear her down. “I constantly feel like I’m in a state of vulnerability,” she said. Note to the trolls: Maybe go outside and touch some grass?
But Kayla isn’t letting the haters win. She’s tackling the Special Forces course like a champ, determined to remind herself—and the internet—that she can do hard things. “This is about proving to me that I’m capable,” she explained. Honestly, we’re rooting for her.
And About That Taylor Swift Question…
Now, let’s get to the part everyone’s waiting for: What does Kayla think about Taylor Swift? Is there drama? A secret feud? A diss track in the works? Nope. Kayla kept it classy, saying she actually likes Taylor and thinks she’s “very talented.” Translation: No need to pit these two queens against each other—this isn’t The Bachelor.
The Final Play
Kayla Nicole is showing the world that she’s more than just a headline or a hashtag. Whether she’s dodging trolls, scaling walls, or gracefully sidestepping drama, she’s proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with—on and off the field. And honestly? We’re here for it.
