Kayla Nicole has shaken off her break up with\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a><\/span>\u00a0– and has fully embraced his relationship with\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Kayla, who dated Travis on and off for five years, revealed that she is actually a Swiftie – despite previous claims that she is\u00a0bitter over the separation.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The model, 29, was chatting with other contestants on the season premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test on FOX, when she made the revelation about how she really felt about the Bad Blood singer, 35.<\/p>\n

‘I really, like, like her,’ Kayla said. ‘I think that she’s very talented.’<\/p>\n

Last year, Kayla admitted to Page Six that going through a public breakup was ‘overwhelming,’ noting the criticism and negative comments she received from Kelce and Swift’s fanbases.<\/p>\n

‘Being reduced to a headline, to something so small as someone’s ex-girlfriend? I feel like if I complete this [show], it’ll be a massive impact for myself,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

Kayla added that she is still trolled online occasionally, despite the fact that she and Travis, also 35, broke up in 2022.<\/p>\n

‘It’s inadvertently affected me to a point where it makes me question, just like my overall value as a person or a partner,’ she candidly shared.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Travis first went public with their romance in September 2023.<\/p>\n

Kayla appeared on WNBA star Angel Reese’s podcast in October last year, where she\u00a0opened up on the abuse she has received from Swift’s die-hard legion of fans amid the new romance.<\/p>\n

‘I think the combination of everything is the perfect storm to make you want to disappear from the world entirely,’ she said on the show.<\/p>\n

‘Behind closed doors, the hardest part is losing a partner, a best friend, speaking every day to cutting ties. Then you throw in social media.<\/p>\n

‘I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and online chaos didn’t impact me, even to this day. You could go to my most recent posts and people would be debating why I am worthless.<\/p>\n

‘It is nothing to do with me. I think there is something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people, which is unfortunate because I don’t think I have done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.’<\/p>\n

The interview on Angel’s show, titled Unapologetically Angel, sparked heavy backlash from the songstress’s loyal fanbase with many telling her to ‘get over’ her past relationship.<\/p>\n

Kayla also made headlines after discussing the Chiefs tight end,\u00a0claiming Taylor is the reason she no longer speaks to other Kansas City Chiefs WAGs.<\/p>\n

Amongst many other revelations – including that she cannot not speak to Travis if they ever see each other in public – Kayla revealed she has drifted apart from some of the wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players she used to be close with.<\/p>\n

During another interview with Radar Online, Kayla hinted that she is no longer as close with the group because of Swift’s frequent visits to KC.<\/p>\n

‘We are not as cool as we once were,’ she said.<\/p>\n

Kayla was a bridesmaid for Brittany Mahomes when she married Chiefs quarterback Patrick, who is good friends with Travis.<\/p>\n

However, Travis’ ex revealed last year that she had unfollowed the Mahomes family on social media amid their close relationship with Swift.<\/p>\n

She said to People: ‘The reality is I know these people in real life.<\/p>\n

‘But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That’s really all that is. The love is still there.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
