The Kayla Nicole TikTok comment backlash has intensified after Taylor Swift fans criticised Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend over recent remarks and a Super Bowl commercial appearance.
Tensions between Nicole and Swift’s fan base have been building for months. However, the situation escalated following a high-profile advertisement aired around the Super Bowl and a subsequent TikTok livestream that reignited online debate.
In a promotional video for the fantasy sports app Sleeper, Kayla Nicole appeared alongside comedian Tiffany Haddish and NBA player Ben Simmons. The commercial introduced a fictional service designed to support people who felt “excommunicated” after a high-profile breakup.
At one point, Nicole was labelled as the “Ex of a certain NFL player.” The script included jokes about recovering quickly from a public relationship. Some viewers interpreted the segment as a subtle jab at Travis Kelce and his fiancée, Taylor Swift.
